It missed something sensitive

If Lex Cloak did not flag something sensitive, you can cover it yourself in a few ways. Select the text and pick a scope to redact it, draw a box over it with Shift and drag, or add the term to Always Redact so it is caught in every document. Showing uncertain matches in Settings can also surface borderline items for review.

Why a miss happens

Lex Cloak errs toward over-detection, but it will not catch everything: unusual formats, complex layouts, handwriting, and identifiers it has not seen before can slip past. The final review is yours, and the tools below close the gap.

Four ways to cover a miss

Select the text and redact it. Highlight the text with your mouse and pick a scope from the popup: this page, the whole document, or always. Full how-to: select text and redact it.
Add it to Always Redact. Type the term into the Always Redact box and press Enter. Lex Cloak then redacts it in this document and in every document you open afterward. Useful for a recurring client name or a case number. Full how-to: Always Redact and Never Redact lists.
Draw over it. Hold Shift and drag, or press D for persistent draw mode, to cover anything the text engine cannot reach: an image, a stamp, handwriting. Full how-to: draw a redaction over anything.
Lower the confidence threshold. In Settings, turn on Show uncertain matches and lower the confidence slider to surface the amber dashed boxes the scan was unsure about. Full how-to: confidence and uncertain matches.

And one note that applies to every document: signatures and initials are not redacted automatically. Click Signatures in the toolbar to run the best-effort scan, and verify by eye. See signatures and handwriting.
