Release Documents in RapidReview

Prev Next

Once you and your team are done redacting and reviewing documents they can be released to the requester. If there are a lot of documents, you may want to zip them up into a single document before releasing them.

There are several restrictions on where and how you can release documents to prevent documents with draft redactions from being released accidentally. These are:

  • Documents that have draft redactions, or which have previously had draft redactions cannot be released under any circumstances within RapidReview. You will need to finalize the redactions before the documents can be released. Draft redactions are not visible on the main request page. Documents with draft redactions can be released from there (similar to how unredacted documents can currently be released).

  • You can only release multiple documents at once from the Ready to Release tab. Individual documents can be released from any stage as long as they do not have and have never had draft redactions in them.

Important Note

  • Once the document is released it will disappear from RapidReview
