FAQ
Questions about files and privacy
Can I redact a Word document?
Yes. Upload the .doc or .docx file. Redact turns it into a page-accurate PDF to redact, and saves the redacted copy as a PDF.
Can I redact several documents at once?
You can upload several at once, and each opens as its own document to review and burn. For fully automatic batch redaction, use the document tools in a pipeline.
Does Autessa keep my unredacted original?
No. It is deleted as soon as the redacted copy is saved, or after 24 hours if you never finish, or immediately if you discard it.
