icon** in the toolbar.
- Users can delete/cancel the redacted area by clicking on the box
containing the text, then clicking on `delete/trash` icon or by using
the shortcut `delete`.
- Users can customize the color of the redacted area/text (after the
redaction was applied) by simply clicking on the box containing the
text/area then clicking on the `color palette` icon and choosing the
color they want.
- Users can choose to select the color of redaction before redacting
text or applying changes (this only affects newly created redaction
areas, to change the color of an existing one; check the previous bullet
point).
- ### Draw/Area-based redaction:
-
- Users can now redact an area in the page by selecting the then
clicking `ctrl + s` shortcut or by pressing on **apply/save/disk icon**
in the toolbar.
- Users can delete/cancel the redacted area by clicking on the drawn
box, then clicking on `delete/trash` icon or by using the shortcut
`delete` (requires temporarily turning off drawing mode).

point).
- ### Page-based redaction:
-
- Users can now redact **ENTIRE** pages by specifying the page
number(s), range(s) or functions.
- Users can customize the color of page-based redaction (doesn't affect
text-based nor draw-based redactions).
### Redaction modes:
There are three modes of redaction/operation currently supported
- Text Selection-based redaction (TEXT)
- Draw/Area-based redaction (DRAWING)
- None - by simply not choosing any of the above modes (NONE).
## How to use:
- **Text Selection-based redaction:** click on this icon in the toolbar
to enable `text-selection redaction mode` then select the text you want
to redact then press `ctrl + s` or click on the disk/save icon
.
- **Draw/Area-based redaction:** click on this icon in the toolbar
to enable `draw/area-based redaction` then `left mouse click (LMB)` on
the starting point of the rectangle, then once you are satisfied with
the rectangle's placement/dimensions then `left mouse click (LMB)` again
to apply the redaction.
- **Example:** `Left mouse click (LMB)` then move mouse to the right
then bottom then `Left mouse click (LMB)`.
- Note: Red box/rectangle borders indicate that you have not yet saved
(you need to left click on the page to save)
once saved the borders will become green
(they also become clickable/hover-able when drawing mode is off).
- **Page-based redactions:**: Insert the page number(s), range(s) and/or
functions (separated by `,`) then select your preferred color and click
on `Redact` to submit.

this icon in the toolbar

over the redaction box then clicking on it (`Left mouse click LMB`) then
clicking on color palette (highlighted in red in the picture)
then select your preferred color.
