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.

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 Compare.

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