Before you share documents with the public, you may need to hide private or sensitive information. This process is called redacting. You can redact any document uploaded to NextRequest. Only the redacted copy will be sent to the requester.
Important Note:
To review or redact a document, it must be smaller than 500 megabytes. In the rare case your document is larger than this size, please split it into smaller parts. Each part should be under 500 megabytes before uploading it into your NextRequest account.
Create a Custom Redaction Reason
NextRequest comes with built-in redaction reasons, including "Customer Privilege" and "Privacy Information." You can also add your custom redaction reasons in the Admin panel. These custom reasons can be used in documents. You can edit or deactivate them at any time. If a reason is deactivated, it won't show in the list while redacting, but you can turn it back on later.
Important Note
Only Admins and Department Admins can input custom redaction reasons. Once a custom redaction reason has been input, it can be used by any staff when redacting documents.
