How to: The Best Way to Disable and Enable Redactions in CaseGuard Studio

In this article, we will cover the process of disabling and re-enabling redactions in CaseGuard Studio, a useful feature for adjusting redactions as project requirements evolve. For instance, if a redaction for an officer is removed but later needs to be reapplied due to changing requirements, the disable feature allows you to manage this flexibly. By disabling rather than deleting, you can remove redactions temporarily while retaining the option to re-enable them as needed.

The key distinction between deleting and disabling redactions is that disabled redactions can be restored at any time, creating a safety net for projects with variable redaction requirements.

How to Disable Redactions in CaseGuard Studio

Using the Right-Click Menu:

Right-click on the redaction you wish to disable and select “Disable” from the dropdown menu.

How to Enable Disabled Redactions

Filtering Disabled Redactions:

Open the Object Detection panel and click the Search button at the top.

    • Hover over Status, then select Equal To > Disabled to filter for all disabled objects.

      Re-enabling Redactions:

      • To enable all filtered redactions, click the checkbox at the bottom of the Object Detection panel to select all, then click the eye icon.
      • For individual objects, locate the desired object in the Object Detection panel, check its checkbox, and click the eye icon to enable it.

Using the disable and enable features in CaseGuard Studio allows for flexible and efficient management of redactions as project requirements change. By choosing to disable rather than delete, you create a built-in safeguard that lets you quickly reapply redactions when needed, saving time and preserving project consistency. Following these steps ensures that your redaction work remains adaptable, accurate, and in line with any updates or requests that may arise throughout the project.
