Guided steps

Follow the task, then check the result.

Choose source or rendered review

Review the view that matches the risk. Source view helps with URLs and comments; rendered view helps with what a recipient will see.

Success check: You know which view you are using and why.

Inspect links, comments, and attributes

Check URLs, alt text, comments, data attributes, headings, and inline examples for names, IDs, paths, or secrets.

Success check: Markup-adjacent sensitive values have been reviewed.

Verify the shared form

Open the exported, copied, or rendered version and confirm it does not reveal values hidden from the main text view.

Success check: The shared form matches the reviewed state.

Article details

Redact HTML, Markdown, RTF, and rich text

Review rich text and markup while keeping an eye on links, comments, metadata, and rendered output.

Use this guide when the rich-text or markup review surface is available in your workspace. If you cannot see the screen or control described here, use the safe support path instead of guessing.

Outcome

You can redact visible text and markup-adjacent values, then check the rendered or exported output before sharing.

Before You Start

  • Know whether you care about source markup, rendered output, or both.
  • Use a copy of the content.
  • Plan to inspect links and hidden-looking comments.

1. Choose source or rendered review

Review the view that matches the risk. Source view helps with URLs and comments; rendered view helps with what a recipient will see.

Check before you continue: You know which view you are using and why.

Check URLs, alt text, comments, data attributes, headings, and inline examples for names, IDs, paths, or secrets.

Check before you continue: Markup-adjacent sensitive values have been reviewed.

3. Verify the shared form

Open the exported, copied, or rendered version and confirm it does not reveal values hidden from the main text view.

Check before you continue: The shared form matches the reviewed state.

Completion Check

  • Source and rendered risks were considered.
  • Links, comments, alt text, and attributes were reviewed where relevant.
  • The final shared form was opened or previewed.

Safe Examples

  • A sample Markdown note with fake names.
  • An HTML snippet using example.test links.

If You Need Support

Contact support when:

  • Rendered output and source output disagree after review.
  • Hidden comments or attributes are not visible enough to verify.

Include only support-safe context:

  • Article slug and selected workflow step.
  • Screen or action name.
  • Browser, viewport, workspace type, and file type category when relevant.
  • Synthetic sample shape or already-redacted sample only after review.

Still stuck?

Copy a safe article handoff.
