How to Redact Text in Your Document

If you need to permanently hide sensitive information (such as names, addresses, or account numbers), you can use the Redact tool in the PDF Editor.

Steps to Redact Text

1. Open Your Document

   • Go to the All Documents section and select the document you want to edit.

2. Enter the PDF Editor

   • Click Edit, then select PDF Editor to open your document.

3. Choose the Redact Tool

   • From the top toolbar, click Redact.

4. Mark the Text to Redact

   • Use your cursor to highlight the text or section you want to hide.

   • The selected content will be blacked out.

5. Confirm the Redaction

   • Once applied, the redacted text is permanently removed and cannot be restored.

6. Save Your Document

   • Click Save in the top-right corner to apply changes.

Notes

• Redacted content cannot be recovered after saving. Make sure you only redact what you intend to hide.

• Use redaction when you want to permanently remove text—not just cover it visually.

• If you need flexibility (to later restore or edit the text), consider downloading and editing in Word instead.
