LibreOffice

Here's another feature that you might not know about: text redaction! This protects sensitive information and helps users and organisations to comply with regulations on confidentiality or help.libreoffice.org/latest/en

@libreoffice je n'ai pas compris. Ça sert à quoi ?

@libreoffice I read it but I don't understand the purpose

@JerryWham Many users and organisations, when working with documents, need to comply with local/international regulations on confidentiality. This feature allows them to redact sensitive parts of the documents, to comply with the regulations.

@JerryWham @libreoffice If you have internal documents and sometimes you have to share them with externals, but without personal data like bank accounts, names, addresses, etc this is a really good way to write your documents.
If you don't redact then while you're writing them, you'll have to read them again and redact before sharing.
Really useful!

@forolinux @libreoffice OK. Thank you. This example helps me to understand.

@libreoffice I found this feature few days ago when a user asked me about privacy, sharing documents with some personal data.
It's simple simply great. I also practiced with the auto redaction.
