Lex CloakRed boxes and the review loop
A red box marks something Lex Cloak proposes to redact. Nothing is final until you preview and then download, so red boxes are an invitation to review, not a finished result. Work through them, turn off anything that should stay, add anything that was missed, then preview to see the black-box output.
Overview
After Lex Cloak scans a document, you spend most of your time in the review loop. Red boxes and the sidebar match list are the two surfaces you use here. Nothing is permanent until you download, and you can preview and come back as many times as you like.
How to review
Open the sidebar match list to see every match Lex Cloak found, grouped by type. Click a match to jump to its page and highlight it on the document. Use the category chips above the list to mute a whole type of match, or the Sort dropdown to order matches by position, type, toggle state, or count.
Turn off a proposed redaction
To keep something Lex Cloak proposed, click its match in the sidebar to toggle it off, or click the red box on the page to choose a scope. The popup offers three scopes: this page, the whole document, or always across every document. Keys 1 through 4 pick a scope quickly, and Esc closes the popup.
The match list
Every detected match is in the sidebar, grouped by type. Each row shows the matched text and the page it appears on. Click to jump and highlight, click again to toggle, and use the sticky group headers to collapse a type while you focus on the rest.
Match scope filter (This Page and All Pages)
The This Page and All Pages toggle above the match list controls whether you are reviewing matches on the current page or across the whole document. It defaults to All Pages, and it also sets which matches a bulk action affects.
Sort the match list
Use the Sort dropdown above the match list to order matches by their position on the page, by type, by whether they are on or off, or by how often they appear.
Scope persistence
A this-page exclusion only affects the current page. A whole-document exclusion applies to every page of the open document but does not carry into a different document. An always exclusion is stored on this device and applies to every document you open afterward. Always exclusions live alongside the Never Redact list and follow the same Always-beats-Never rule when a term appears on both.
Always exclusions and the Never Redact list survive a Reset defaults pass, because Reset defaults touches settings, not your saved choices about specific terms.
