Search Exclusion Feature

Search Exclusion Feature 

The Search Exclusion feature makes automated redaction process smarter and more precise. It lets users exclude specific terms or pieces of information from being redacted. This ensures critical details remain untouched without manual effort.

For example, if you’re redacting a document with thousands of email addresses and you want to redact 1000 emails automatically but need to exclude two specific ones, such as [email protected] and [email protected]. Instead of manually reviewing and excluding those emails, you can create an exclusion list for them. When you run the redaction automation, these two emails will remain unredacted while the rest are securely redacted.

Why It Matters

The Search Exclusion feature keeps you in control of what remains visible and what’s hidden in your documents.

Key benefits of the search exclusion feature include:

• Increased Accuracy: Specify which terms should stay unredacted, preventing over-redaction.
• Time Efficiency: Streamline the redaction process by reducing the need for manual corrections.
• Customizable Lists: Create and manage personalized exclusion lists tailored to various projects.
• Consistency: Use the same exclusion lists across multiple documents for uniform results.
