Before you start

Use a supported browser with Redactorr open.
Start with sample text if you do not want to use private material yet.
Decide whether you want to copy text, export a file, or keep working in the workspace.

OutputCopy or export only after the reviewed state is clear.

Guided steps

Follow the task, then check the result.

Choose the safest first input

Open the Canvas and paste a short sample, or use a document you are allowed to process. Keep private production material out of your first test if you are just learning the flow.

For a first run, the goal is to understand the review flow before using sensitive real material.

Success check: You can see text or an uploaded file in the Canvas.

Review what Redactorr found

Look at the highlighted items and the detection list. Confirm anything that should be redacted and ignore anything that should stay visible.

Detection list beside highlighted text.
Success check: Every sensitive item you care about is marked or intentionally ignored.

Copy or export the reviewed result

Use copy or export only after review. The redacted version should contain placeholders instead of raw names, emails, account numbers, or other sensitive values.

Reviewed output actions for copy, export, or secure sharing.
Success check: The output you plan to share contains redacted placeholders, not raw private values.

Branch questions

Completion check

The output contains placeholders where sensitive values were found.
You reviewed any uncertain detections before copying or exporting.
You know which article to open if upload, detection, or sharing does not match what you see.

Your First 30 Seconds with Redactorr

Imagine you have a document full of customer emails, phone numbers, and Tax File Numbers. You need to share it with your team, but you cannot expose that sensitive information.

In the old world, you would manually find and replace every piece of data. Hours of tedious work, with a high risk of missing something.

With Redactorr, this takes 30 seconds.

The 4-Step Journey

Paste Your Text**

1 / 1

Open the Canvas (the main page you see when you log in). There is a large text box waiting for you. Paste in your sensitive document, email, code snippet, or log file.

Watch the Detection**

1 / 1

The moment you paste, Redactorr gets to work. Within seconds, sensitive patterns are highlighted — emails in one colour, phone numbers in another, account numbers flagged for review.

Review the Findings**

1 / 1

On the right side, you will see every detection listed. Click any finding to jump to it in the text. If something should not be redacted (like a generic example address), click "Whitelist" to keep it.

Copy the Clean Version**

1 / 1

Click "Copy Redacted" and you now have a sanitised version in your clipboard. Emails become [EMAIL_1], phone numbers become [PHONE_1], and everything else is replaced with safe redacted items.

Share safely. Done.

What Just Happened?

Redactorr scanned your text through hundreds of detection patterns and validated every match for accuracy. All of this happened in your browser — detection and redaction ran in your browser.

Your Turn

Try this right now: 1. Go to the Canvas 2. Paste this sample text:

text
Contact Sarah Chen at [email protected] or 0412 345 678.
TFN: 123 456 782
Credit Card: 4532 1234 5678 9012

Watch Redactorr detect:

1 / 1

- The email address - The mobile number - The Tax File Number - The credit card number

All in under a second.

Next Steps

Once you have tried the basic paste-and-redact flow, explore:

  • File uploads — Redact PDFs, Word docs, Excel files
  • Custom patterns — Teach Redactorr your organisation's ID formats
  • Secure Share — Send redacted docs with encrypted restoration keys

Still stuck?

Copy a safe article handoff.

Start support with the article, the issue, and safe context. Raw document text, files, restoration material, and unredacted screenshots stay out unless you explicitly choose otherwise.
