Blackout 4.3 Release Overview

Blackout 4.3 includes the following product improvements and bugs fixes.

Features

CSV support

Blackout now supports redacting CSV files.

As CSV files are text files, they are restricted to having only text redaction placed on them. CSVs can be included in spreadsheet projects either alone or alongside Excel files.

Support for manual text redaction has been added but is limited to Relativity Server 2022. Prior to Relativity Server 2022, CSV files are not displayed in the viewer with table styling limiting the ability to identify where the user is clicking within the CSV. As a result, manual redaction is not available for Relativity 10.3 and Relativity Server 2021.

While manual redaction for CSV is not available on the viewer in Relativity 10.3 and Relativity Server 2021, you can redact CSV using Blackout Spreadsheet Projects. CSV redactions will display in the Markup Review Pane when viewing redacted CSVs on the viewer in these versions and can be accepted and rejected.

In addition to project and manual support, we have also added CSV support for external redactions, and propagation projects. All manual failure workflows behave identically to existing spreadsheet workflows for CSVs.

Blackout Project Updates

Spread Sheet Projects

CSVs included in a saved search will be processed by Spreadsheet projects using this saved search.

Any rules with unsupported markup styles (e.g., white redactions, black redactions) will use the configured fallback text to place a text redaction on the CSV. The fallback text can be modified when creating or editing a project.

This behavior is consistent with current header, footer, comment, and chart label redaction functionality.

Rules with hits on CSVs with a markup type of highlight are recorded as document warnings and the CSV remains unmodified.

Propagation Projects

  • CSVs may be included as source and destination documents
  • CSVs will not propagate to or from other file types, even if the duplicate identifier field value is the same

Document Viewer Updates

Support has been added for redacting CSVs to the Aero document viewer in Relativity Server 2022.

  • Right click redact functionality has been enabled
    • Users may choose from either text or cell content redactions
    • CSV files must appear in table format in the relativity viewer before the right click menu becomes available

Markup Review Pane

  • CSV redactions will display in the markup review pane and can be accepted or rejected on all versions of Relativity

External Redactions

  • CSVs have full feature parity with Excel and PDF documents.

Default Redaction Text

Historically, by default, Blackout has automatically placed a text redaction when a markup style is configured to place a redaction in a location where that style is not supported. In these situations, the text [Redacted] would automatically be used. An example of this would be placing a black redaction on an Excel comment.

With the introduction of CSV support, this same concept now applies to CSV as well. To help support additional workflows, all these scenarios will take advantage of the existing option on the Blackout Settings page in each workspace, Default Redaction Text. Customizing this value helps create flexibility from the current built in default.

Manual Redaction Terms Default Redacted

In addition to this change, the fallback text may now also be customized on a per project basis. A new option, Fallback text, has been added to the Spreadsheet project creation page.

Fallback Redaction Text

Markup Review Pane Banner

When redactions are added or removed from a document, a dismissable banner will appear in the Markup Review Pane indicating the list of redactions is stale and the banner should be refreshed.

Change-log

Bug Fixes

  • Resolved an issue where manually reverting inverse redactions would sometimes clear the 'Has Native Highlights' field
  • Resolved an issue where failures to read the extracted text of an excel file could cause the file to be retained twice by production preparation projects
  • Resolved an issue where manually redacting attachments on a PDF caused other markups on the PDF to not display in the viewer
  • Resolved an issue where a cell content redaction could be placed spanning a cell range. The result was the redacted file no longer loading.
  • Resolved an issue resulting in PDF Production failing when generating redacted extracted text--this operation has been made significantly more resilient and performant
