The selection mode is the default mode that allows you to select text.

Click Pan to move the displayed document area. That is useful if you have zoomed into a page.

The mouse pointer then turns into a hand, which you can use to move the document.

Return to text selection by clicking Select or pressing "Esc".

The Compare feature compares the currently opened document to another version of the same document redacted outside RedactManager. That allows you to check whether RedactManager would redact the same passages.

Click the Compare icon.

Rectangle redactions are a type of manual redaction. For a step-by-step guide on how to create a rectangle redaction, please see Rectangle redaction.

As long as you have not clicked on Apply the page will be marked with a small rotation arrow in the Workload page overview. That shows you that you still have to confirm the page rotation.

The default color for redactions in the preview mode is the preview color. Click Show redactions as in final document redaction-final.svg to make the redactions unreadable, and Show redactions in preview color redaction-preview.svg to make them readable again. The respective icons are only available in the Preview mode.
