Review and redact

Go through what it found, turn off what should stay, and cover anything it missed.

  • A court filing open in Lex Cloak with draw mode on, ready to drag a redaction box over anything on the page.

    Add your own redactions

  • The page thumbnail strip open beside a document, showing every page so single pages can be rotated or dropped.

    Page tools

    Remove a page from the export with X, rotate a sideways or upside-down page, jump to a page, open the thumbnails panel, and the bird's-eye grid.

  • A 210-page document shown as a grid of page thumbnails before any scanning starts, so unneeded pages can be dropped first.

    Triage for large documents

    Triage opens on documents over about 50 pages and sorts pages into seven buckets so you decide what to keep and what to drop before redaction.
