Redacting a resume lets you black out specific information — like a candidate's name, contact details, or current employer — before sharing it with a client. The redacted version is saved as a formatted resume on the candidate's profile; the original file is never modified.
How to redact a resume
Step 1: Open the candidate's Files section
Go to the candidate's profile and click the Files tab.
Step 2: Open the file options
Find the resume you want to redact. Click the three-dot icon next to it to open the options menu.
Step 3: Select Redact
The formatted resume opens in the editor. Click Redact to enter redaction mode.
Step 4: Draw redaction blocks
Use the shape tool to draw a block over the information you want to hide. You can cover as many areas as needed — name, phone number, email, employer, or anything else you don't want the client to see.
Step 5: Save the redacted resume
Click Done, then Continue to confirm. The redacted version is saved to the candidate's profile and is ready to share with the client.

Things to know
Redacting creates a new formatted resume — the original uploaded file is never touched.
You can redact any part of the resume: name, contact details, current employer, photo, or any other section.
The redacted resume is what gets shared when you submit a candidate through the Client Portal.
