Redaction for Microsoft Office

Redaction in Microsoft Office involves permanently removing or hiding sensitive or confidential information from a document, such as names, dates, or comments, before sharing or publishing. It ensures that private data cannot be recovered or viewed by others after the document is finalized. This process is often used for legal, security, or privacy reasons to protect sensitive content and prevent accidental disclosure of confidential information. Redaction tools within Office applications help users securely obscure or delete this information, maintaining document integrity and confidentiality.
