Import redactions from redacted documents:
You can import redactions from a redacted version of the document.

If you do not want to import all redactions: Check the "Import only for pages" box to specify a page range and/or individual pages for your import.
If you have already added manual redactions to a document, you can exclude the pages with manual redactions from the import. The imported redactions will otherwise overwrite the manually added redactions.
Click Import.
RedactManager recognizes colored markings and highlights (earmarks) inserted into the document with a text editing program before creating the PDF.
If you have uploaded an earmarked document into a dossier and want to convert the earmarks into redactions, open the Earmarks view in the editor. (The view is only enabled if a document contains such earmarks.)
You can then convert earmarks into redactions or remove them.
Only earmarks converted into redactions will be redacted in the final version of your document.
