Native markup sets

What to know

  • Blackout shares the Relativity Markup Set for the current workspace
  • Each new markup set that is added to the workspace will be available for use with Blackout native redactions
  • Files may be marked up in different ways or by different parties using markup sets, just like with Relativity image markups
  • When creating an automated spreadsheet or PDF project, all markup sets are displayed

Adding new markup sets

To make a new markup set available for use in Blackout, follow these steps:

  1. Log into Relativity as a System or Case Administrator
  2. Navigate to the workspace where multiple markup sets are needed
  3. Navigate to Case Admin | Markup Sets
  4. Select New Markup Set
  5. Input a Name, Order, and Redaction Text
    • Redaction text will serve as the default text for all manual PDF text redactions
  6. Click Save
    • New markup sets will be immediately available for use with Blackout

Switching markup sets

  • Blackout displays markups based on the selected markup set at the bottom left of the viewer
  • When navigating between documents, the active markup set is remembered on a user by user basis and selected automatically
  • The 'None' markup set will always display the original document and cannot have markups added to it
  • Picking another markup set from the dropdown will swap the displayed markups to the selected markup set
  • If there is only one markup set in the workspace, then only 'None' and that markup set will be available for selection
  • Only the markup sets the user has permission to will be displayed

Markup Set Selection

Multiple markup sets

  • Each user can view the markups for any markup set simultaneously
  • If multiple users navigate to the same document and pick different markup sets, they will both be presented with a copy of the document and can place redactions and highlights.
  • Both sets of user markups will be saved and retained automatically.

Securing markup sets

  • Blackout automatically respects the security of a markup set.
  • If a user is restricted from a markup set, Blackout will prevent them from viewing the markup set, placing new markups, or modifying existing markups for that markup set.

How to secure markup sets

  1. Log into Relativity as a System or Case Administrator
  2. Navigate to the workspace where multiple markup sets are needed
  3. Navigate to Case Admin | Markup Sets
  4. Click the Lock icon to the left of the markup set to be secured
  5. Click Overwrite Inherited Security to switch it to On
  6. Click Add/Remove Groups button
    • By default, all groups that have access to the workspace will be displayed here
  7. Remove the group that should not have access to the markup set
  8. Click the Save button
  9. Click the Close button
    • The Lock icon will become locked
    • After making this change, members of the group will no longer see the option to select that markup set.

Deleting markup sets

  • After a markup has been placed on a markup set for a PDF document, the markup set becomes associated with several Blackout multi-object fields based on the type of markup.
  • This includes the fields that can be used to search for external markups, manual markups, and automated markups by markup set.
  • Attempting to delete the markup set will result in an error message, letting the user know the action can’t be completed.
  • In order to delete the markup set, all markups placed on PDF documents associated with the markup set to be deleted must be removed
    • This can be accomplished by using the revert markup mass actions on all documents associated with that markup set.

Marked-up file download

  • Downloading the PDF from Relativity will always download the original native
  • To download a redacted copy of the native, the user must click the Download Marked Up File button
  • For larger PDFs, the file may take a few moments to download as markups are being burned-in on the fly

How-to download the file

  1. Navigate to the document in the Relativity viewer
  2. Select the markup set to preview
  3. Click the Download Marked Up File button
