North Carolina's redaction service allows you to automatically identify and mask sensitive information within uploaded documents prior to submitting them to the Court.
- Troubleshooting Tip: The Mozilla Firefox browser can cause known glitches to occur in the Redaction tool. Please use Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Apple Safari, or Brave Browser instead.
The Auto Redact service can be found in the Filings tab.
When you click Auto-Redact, it will load for a few seconds. You will get a green toast message indicating that the system is auto-redacting and you can continue to fill out your filing. Once it is completed, another message will pop up indicating that is has completed. It will also show how many items were redacted.
You must view the document when prompted by the Redact button and then must save it.
If you need to edit any of the redactions or review what has been redacted, you can click on the Edit Redactions button.
This will open up a new tab into a Content Manager window. Any fields highlighted will be redacted when the filing is submitted. If information is not highlighted and needs to be redacted, you can click on the Redact Area icon. Your mouse will then become a + icon, and allow you to click and drag over the sensitive information. When you are done selecting information to be redacted. Click on the floppy disc icon in the top right of this page to save your changes and exit
