Here you can define redactions to be used in the document. There are three redaction types, text, zone and regular expression. You can define new redaction type by clicking on the Add redaction button.

Case sensitive - if you want your redaction to be case sensitive; "Name" and "name" are different words in such case.

Apply to whole word - if you want to apply redaction to whole words; when your text filter is for example "John", with the option disabled it will be applied also to words like "John's" or "John.com", etc., on the other hand if the option is enabled, the redaction will be applied only to words which match exactly the text filter - standalone/independent words.
