Removing from the dictionary means that the respective term will not be redacted anywhere. So, if you remove entries from the dictionary, it may also affect pages that you have already worked on, or even documents that other users are working on. Only documents that have already been approved will not be changed during the respective reanalysis.
It is not possible to completely remove authors from the dictionary like this. In case of further questions, please get in touch with your Admin.
Click the False Positive icon
to note in the dictionary that you do not want to redact a term in this particular context.This might be the case for terms that can be both a name and have another meaning. RedactManager will then note in the dictionary that the term is not a name in this case and therefore does not have to be redacted.
Click the Trash icon
(Remove only here) to delete exactly this redaction.A dialog opens, and you can insert a comment and confirm that you want to delete the redaction from this position. The highlighted word will not be redacted at this point in the document. Other parts of the document and/or other dossier documents will not be affected by the change.
