Find and redact words

Mark every place a word or phrase appears for redaction, then check and apply.

To redact a name or number everywhere it appears, let Monstera find and mark every match for you.

Steps

  1. In the rail, choose Protect, then Redact matches… in the Redact group (Mark matches for redaction).
  2. Type the text in Find.
  3. In Search, choose Every page or Page ….
  4. Choose Mark matches. Every match is marked with a redaction mark.
  5. Check the marks and delete any you did not mean, then choose Apply redactions. See "Redact (permanently remove) content".

Good to know

  • The search ignores capitalisation.
  • Nothing is removed until you apply redactions.
  • A match that wraps onto the next line gets a mark on each line.
  • If there are too many matches, nothing is marked and Monstera tells you.
