Redact works on PDF, Word, and PPT files
You can redact any PDF up to 50MB.
You can! This redaction tool is free to everyone. If you don’t have a Datasite project, you can sign up for a free account.
Currently, Redact is only available through the web interface.
You’ll need to remove password protection before redacting your document – and remember to re-protect the PDF afterwards if necessary.
The whole process is online, so you don’t need software.
Just enter a word or phrase in the keyword search field. This displays a list on the right showing all occurrences of your search term. Select occurrences from the list and click Add mark to mark them for redaction. You can also click on any occurrence to jump to its location in the document.
Click into the keyword/pattern search field to find and redact all instances of a particular type of PII, such as phone numbers and email addresses.
The Redact app handles only one file at a time. To redact multiple documents across an entire data room, check out the AI redaction available in the Datasite Diligence app.
For security reasons, a redacted document can never be unredacted – but your original unredacted copy is stored in My Documents so you can revert to it at any time.
All original (unredacted) and new (redacted) files are stored in your My Documents area. No other users can access them, and you can permanently delete them anytime.
