Guided redaction (beta release) - The new guided redaction feature, currently in beta, produces redacted files for use cases such as Freedom of Information Act requests. Guided redaction supports a process that includes redaction and review.
Before you create a guided redaction project, you set up reference codes to identify specific types of values, and can map those codes to Textual entity types. Projects and files are assigned statuses to indicate where they are in the process. Textual provides a basic set of status values that you can adjust.
For the redaction phase, Textual performs an initial scan to detect sensitive values. You can then add and remove values and adjust the assigned reference codes.
The review process verifies that the redaction is correct and complete.
You can preview each file to verify the redactions before you download the output. All output files are PDFs, regardless of the original format. You can choose the color of the box that hides the redacted values, and whether to include the reference codes.
Model-based custom entity types - Textual now supports a new way to create a custom entity type. Previously, custom entity types always looked for values that matched regular expressions. Those are now called regex-based custom entity types, and are useful for entity types that have a smaller set of values or have values that use a standard format. For the new model-based custom entity types, you define and train models to identify entity values for an entity type. Model-based custom entity types are useful for when there are a wide range of values that need to be identified more by context than by format.
