RedactManager Documentation

Download a dossier

Good to know:

Only the dossier owner and approvers can download dossiers (and documents).

The Download button will be enabled once the initial analysis has taken place.

If you download an unapproved document/dossier while a reanalysis is in progress, your download package may correspond to the previous editing state (before the reanalysis).

If you download unapproved documents, the prefix "UNAPPROVED" will be added to the file names in the download package. It is not possible to download the Redacted PDF version of unapproved files.

For further information on the different document states, please see Dossier list.

If you hover over the dossier list in the dossier template, the Download button download_dark.svg appears on the right.

How to download a dossier
  1. Click Download download_dark.svg in the dossier list to generate the download package for your dossier.

Files in the download package

Good to know:

The download package can be configured in the Download package tab of the "Edit dossier" dialog or in the download dialog that is displayed once you click the download button.

  • Redaction reports (detailing the redactions made in the document)

    You can download single-file and/or multi-file Excel reports (i. e. one Excel per document or one Excel for the entire dossier).

    Your admin can upload custom report templates (e.g., templates from authorities).

  • The original dossier documents (without redactions)

  • The redacted dossier documents

  • The redaction preview

    Good to know:

    If you enable the watermark application for preview and/or redacted documents when creating the dossier or in the "Edit dossier" dialog, the watermark is applied to the preview documents and/or redacted documents in the download package.
