Abstract
A method for graphically designating content in a document for the subsequent application of a redaction function by executing a preview manager process that displays the designated content in a distinctive interactive configuration. The preview manager process renders the interactive configuration in a graphical format that allows a user to distinguish between the designated content (which has been selected by the user for subsequent application of a redaction function) and the remaining non-designated content in the document. Moreover, a user may interact with the designated content in the document such that, upon user activation (e.g., via an input device such as a mouse), the preview manager process renders a preview configuration that displays a simulation of the resultant application of the redaction function to the designated content. A user may further interact with the designated content in the document such that the preview manager process provides an interactive interface (e.g., a dialogue box) for modifying and/or configuring the properties of the redaction function.
