What is Redaction?
Redaction is the process of hiding information on a document. On paper, redaction is typically performed by blacking out the area that needs to be hidden. In DocuVantage OnDemand, redaction appears as a blacked out area, however the system applies the “blackout” selectively. This enables users with authority to view the entire document and enables users without the proper authority to view only selective areas. For example, when a document is subpoenaed in a court case, information not specifically relevant to the case at hand is often redacted. Medical records are often redacted when released to hide patient sensitive information that may include address, social security number, and medical condition.
What are Annotations?
Annotations are the highlighting and markup of documents designed to draw attention to specific items or note corrections needed. Annotation tools allow you to draw lines, rectangles, ellipses, and add text notes to documents. Text annotations are often used to explain a drawn annotation or to show simple calculations. Annotation tools can be used for any type of comment from drawing changes on scanned engineering drawings when they don’t have the original CAD files to indicating that an invoice was paid.
