Introduction to Redact & Strike-out in BoloSign

BoloSign’s Redact & Strikeout feature is super helpful! Whether you're reviewing contracts, handling sensitive information, or making document revisions, this feature ensures clarity, security, and compliance.

With Strikeout, you can visibly mark text as void while keeping it readable for transparency. Redact, on the other hand, permanently removes sensitive details, making them completely unrecoverable.

Let’s explore how these features work and how they can simplify your document management!

FAQs About the Redact & Strike-out Feature in BoloSign

1. What’s the difference between Redact and Strikeout?

  • Strikeout: Marks text as invalid while keeping it visible (useful for contract edits).

  • Redact: Permanently removes or blacks out text so it cannot be recovered (useful for hiding confidential data).

2. Can I undo a redaction after saving the document?

No, once a redaction is applied and saved, the information is permanently removed for security reasons. But the owner/editor of the document will be able to edit or remove it anytime.

3. Is the redacted information still present in the document’s metadata?

No, BoloSign ensures that redacted text is permanently erased from both the visible document and the metadata.

4. Can I strike out text before sending a document for signing?

Yes! You can strike out sections of a document before sharing it, allowing all parties to see modifications before signing.

Conclusion

The Redact & Strikeout feature in BoloSign gives you complete control over your documents. Strikeout helps maintain transparency in negotiations and revisions, while Redaction ensures confidential information stays protected.

No more manual edits or risky deletions—just a simple, secure way to handle documents like a pro
