FAQ

Can I redact only one clause?

Yes. Use manual region selection for precise section targeting.

Will this work for long multi-page contracts?

Yes. Use patterns for repeated terms and regions for one-off blocks.

Do I need a legal sign-off?

For high-risk documents, a legal reviewer should approve release.
