Redactions: editing options
Redactions are generated automatically based on the rule sets, or manually by the user (manual redactions). The highlighted passage will be redacted in the final document.
You can edit a redaction by clicking on the redaction highlighting in the text or hovering over the respective workload entry to display the available editing options.

"Remove redaction" dialog
The dialog may offer the following options:
The availability of the options depends on whether the redaction is manual, rule- or dictionary-based.
Mark the redaction as a false positive. The term will not be redacted in this dossier if it occurs in the same context.
When to select this option:
You do not want to redact the term in the given context in this dossier. When this option is selected, the dialog specifies the detected context.
You might need this feature in the case of terms that can have several meanings. Example: "White" can be a name or a color. You might want to redact it when it occurs as a name (e.g. redaction type: PII), but not when it occurs as a color (e.g. not in the context "white rabbits").
Redaction context
Results of this action:
Final document: The term will not be redacted in the given context. If it appears multiple times in this context throughout the dossier, it will not be redacted at any occurrence.
Editor: Annotations that occur in this context are removed from all dossier documents.
Apply to all active and future dossiers option:
(This option is only available to dossier members with the approver permission.)
Select this option if you do not want to redact the term in this context in any dossier that uses the selected dossier template.
The system stores your input and starts a reanalysis to remove the redaction from all active documents. It will not be redacted in future dossiers either.
Background info:
The "False positive" option is only available for dictionary-based redactions. The workload entry for dictionary-based redactions shows a dictionary icon in the upper-right corner.
If you mark a redaction as false-positive, the term and the context are added to the respective false-positive dossier dictionary and will not be redacted in this context in the dossier. If you additionally select "Apply to all active and future dossiers", the value will also be added to the false-positive dictionary at template level, and will not be redacted in this context in any dossier that applies the used dossier template. For further information on false positives, please see Entities.
If you remove a false positive as long as auto-analysis is disabled, RedactManager removes the false positive entry immediately.
This option is only available in the case of redactions placed over images (e.g, signatures, logos etc.).
Hide allows you to hide the annotation highlighting placed over the image to improve the visibility of the image.
Click Show 
to display the highlighting again when it is hidden.
