Annotation redaction tagging assigns a categorical value to individual annotations or redaction. The values are reasons why the annotation or redaction exists. For example, a social security number could be tagged with a Social Security Number value. Follow these steps to apply annotation redaction tagging:

  • Draw a redaction object over the item that you wish to redact such as a social security number.
  • Right click on the redaction object when still in highlight mode and select from a predefined list of redaction tags. For Example, “Social Security Number.”
  • Select Save Document As to burn in the redaction with tag. The new document with the burned in redaction now has the Social Security tag to indicate it was a redacted social security number.
