Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know.
Is the text under the box really gone?

Is the redacted text searchable?
No, since the text is removed from the file structure, it will not appear in search results.
Can I use different colors?

Can I undo this later?
No, once you save and download, the information is permanently destroyed in the new file.
