Quick Start Guide

Get up and running with Redactorr in 30 seconds

Your First 30 Seconds with Redactorr

Imagine you have a document full of customer emails, phone numbers, and Tax File Numbers. You need to share it with your team, but you cannot expose that sensitive information.

In the old world, you would manually find and replace every piece of data. Hours of tedious work, with a high risk of missing something.

With Redactorr, this takes 30 seconds.

The 4-Step Journey

Paste Your Text**

1 / 1

Open the Canvas (the main page you see when you log in). There is a large text box waiting for you. Paste in your sensitive document, email, code snippet, or log file.

Watch the Detection**

1 / 1

The moment you paste, Redactorr gets to work. Within seconds, sensitive patterns are highlighted — emails in one colour, phone numbers in another, account numbers flagged for review.

Review the Findings**

1 / 1

On the right side, you will see every detection listed. Click any finding to jump to it in the text. If something should not be redacted (like a generic example address), click "Whitelist" to keep it.

Copy the Clean Version**

1 / 1

Click "Copy Redacted" and you now have a sanitised version in your clipboard. Emails become [EMAIL_1], phone numbers become [PHONE_1], and everything else is replaced with safe redacted items.

Share safely. Done.

What Just Happened?

Redactorr scanned your text through hundreds of detection patterns and validated every match for accuracy. All of this happened in your browser — detection and redaction ran in your browser.

Your Turn

Try this right now: 1. Go to the Canvas 2. Paste this sample text:

All in under a second.
