Highlighting & Redacting Documents

To make redactions or highlights on an imaged document, click the document you would like to make changes to. Then click on the Image Markup viewer tool icon at the top right of the Document Viewer.

At the top of the next screen, you can toggle the Image Markup tool between two modes:

1. Highlight: Locate the page and excerpt which you would like to highlight and ensure the toggle on the right side of your screen is set to Highlight, select an associated issue, and add a note (both optional).  Click your cursor where you would like to begin your highlight and simply drag and drop to complete.  If you would like to add an additional highlight on the page, repeat the click, drag and drop sequence mentioned above. If you would like to resize the highlight box, click the edge and resize accordingly.
   
   Click the orange Highlight button before moving on to the next page (you will be prompted).
   
   

2. Redact: To start redacting a document, toggle to Redact mode, select your redaction reason, style, and add a note (optional).  Click your cursor where you would like to begin your redaction and simply drag and drop to complete.  If you would like to add an additional redaction on the page, repeat the click, drag and drop sequence mentioned above. If you would like to resize the redaction box, click the edge and resize accordingly.
   
   

To get started, simply click the Toggle Zoom button at the top right of your document and hover of the document for improved visibility. Once you click to make a highlight or redaction, the zoom will reset slightly to ensure it is zooming on the text as you make your markup.

Once you've highlighted or redacted your document, you can see all highlights and redactions for that particular document listed by corresponding page in the "Annotations" section of the sidebar.

If you need to view a version of your document without image markups, click the Toggle Markups viewer tool icon at the top right of the Document Viewer.

You can use the Filter menu to limit results to documents with highlights:

 Or to filter for all documents with redactions:

There are several ways to export image markups in both Discovery and Litigation.

Load file templates are only created as part of the export template process and define which fields are exported and how they are arranged. Once created, the same load file template may be referenced by multiple export templates.

Once your load file and export template are completed, select a folder and choose Export from the drop-down menu.

Name your export, choose an appropriate export template and proceed.
