InformationBodyUsing the redaction tool, project administrators and Reviewers with Manage Permissions can make redactions on documents from within the application, without the need to download, redact and re-upload documents. If you're interested in using the redaction component but it is not currently enabled on your project, please contact your Datasite sales representative to discuss activating the feature.
