Redaction
This annotation allows images and/or text associated with a document to be redacted. This lets you hide sensitive material from unauthorized users. Only users who have been assigned the See Through Redactions entry access right can view redacted material, which will appear 
highlighted in gray. (Learn more about entry access rights.) Users who can see through redactions can choose whether or not to retain redactions when exporting or printing documents with this type of annotation. Users with sufficient rights can also move a redaction to a different location on the image; resize it; view its creator, creation date, and last modification date; mark it as protected or private; or delete it. Users without security rights will see a black or white area, instead of the image or text behind it.
To redact an image
In Redaction mode, you can redact a portion of an image by using the mouse to select a region. The redaction will be assigned the default color.
Note: By default, redacting an image will automatically redact the text associated with that region of the image. For more information, see
