Will I be able to redact content while in Partial Freeze?

Body
Partial Freeze:
When only a portion of the content needs to be frozen, Project Admins are moved to a Freeze Admin role with Download permissions to the frozen fileroom or folder (restricting their ability to upload or edit content) and Manage permissions to the remaining content.

While retaining Manage permissions to non-frozen content, redaction is unavailable for all content in the project while a partial freeze is active, including filerooms and folders that are not frozen. 

To restore redaction capability, one of the following options is available:
  • Remove the partial freeze — Redaction is immediately restored for all content. 
  • Redact outside Datasite — Download the document, redact using the free Datasite Redaction App or another tool, and re-upload.
