Appian / Guides / Overview
Apryse WebViewer offers a complete toolset to redact your documents in Appian. You can open files from Appian, externally hosted documents on the web, or from your local machine. Once you have completed redacting a document, you may save it back to Appian, download it, or send it out.
You can turn on redaction by setting the enableRedaction
parameter to true
. Note that setting the fullAPI
parameter to true
is required on older versions of WebViewer to make the functionality work, in newer version (3.1.1+) this is enabled automatically.
Redacting a document will remove the visual information on the document as well as any underlying metadata or text string/data embedded into your document. Once redaction is completed and the document is saved, you are unable to undo this process according to ISO standard.
Therefore, redactions are not applied immediately. WebViewer first places a redaction mark onto the document whenever you place redactions. This is a red rectangle that highlights the area to be redacted (marked for redaction). You may hover over this area with your mouse to get a preview for the redaction itself. Once you apply the redaction, the area is blacked out and the information is removed from the document. Do not forget to save the file to complete the process.
You have a multitude of redaction tools that accomodate multiple workflows using the viewer UI.
Use the text highlight tool and click on the redaction button to create a redaction mark. You can also do this from the Redact
tool ribbon by selecting the redaction tool and highlighting text.
Go to the Redact
tool ribbon and select the redaction tool. You can either highlight text with this tool or draw a rectangle/box to redact an entire area by drawing your redaction mark and applying the redaction.
Go to the Redact
tool ribbon and select the Redact Pages
tool. Select a page, multiple pages, or pass page ranges to remove entire pages from a document. The tool places redaction marks on your selected pages, then redacts the entire pages when page redaction marks are applied.
You can open the redaction panel from the Redact
tool ribbon. On the top right of the panel you can search for keywords, each search result is selectable. This allows you to place redaction marks in bulk to allow for faster processing.
You can use the search bar on the redaction panel to search for patterns within your document. The following patterns are available:
You can select them from the search results and add multiple redaction marks this way to reduce manual steps required for redaction.
Note that you can save your redaction marks before applying them. This enables a review workflow where multiple users can come in and work on the same document.
