Desktop and mobile release history

v1.2.2

Current

Excel list redaction & review

  • •Multi-worksheet Excel: preview by sheet and track per-sheet progress in the file list
  • •Exported spreadsheets match what you reviewed in preview
  • •Row- and column-level review for rosters and ledgers; bulk type or keep-as-is
  • •Column headers improve accuracy on names, contacts, and IDs; multiple tables per sheet handled separately
  • •Clearer Task Center progress when large workbooks run sheet by sheet
  • •More reliable export for very large spreadsheets
  • •File list reflects cancellations — no stuck “in progress” after removing a job
  • •Better handling of dates and amounts in contracts, reports, and scans
  • •Table redaction options aligned with project pseudonym / mask preferences

v1.2.1

Large Case Files, Handled in Segments

  • •Redact hundred- and thousand-page PDFs reliably: large files are processed in segments while the file list stays one row; expand to see progress — no need to wait for the whole book
  • •Export the full volume without gaps: review each segment, then merge into one complete PDF for outbound delivery
  • •Combine multiple PDFs into one volume, then redact as a single case file
  • •Preview long scanned PDFs while processing continues — less waiting on big scans
  • •More stable on everyday hardware: large jobs use memory and disk more conservatively
  • •Easier cross-segment review: unified page numbers; alerts when the same party has different aliases; dictionary edits can sync across segments
  • •Project batch fits large volumes: big PDFs progress segment by segment in Task Center; projects with large volumes support batch merge export
  • •Stronger pseudonym restore: project-wide batch restore with progress in Task Center
  • •Compact pseudonym labels everywhere; edit, merge, or split aliases in review; shared project dictionary across files
  • •Reopening a large redacted scan no longer reruns the whole job; remask adjustments are faster
  • •Scan masks sit closer to the actual text — fewer over- or under-covered areas
  • •Supplemental redaction asks for type before applying; scroll position kept on long docs; fixed occasional crash on Mac quit
  • •Help manual updated for daily workflow, review, and restore
  • •Windows and macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon) ship together

v1.2.0

LROLMLL 3.0 & Pseudonym Restore

  • •Engine upgrade to LROLMLL 3.0: sensitive fields expand from 17 to 45 types, covering document numbers, contract IDs, property certificates, patents/trademarks, medical record numbers, VINs, handwritten signatures, and other compliance and evidence fields; overall F1 remains 99.73%
  • •Scanned OCR layout: CJK documents keep record-boundary line breaks by page width, so signature blocks, table columns, and wrapped names / organisations / addresses are no longer glued into one sentence; both misses and over-redaction drop on scanned contracts
  • •Organisation refinement: strips non-organisational prefixes such as party-role labels, so ordinary prose is less likely to be tagged as a company name; long clauses containing a real organisation are re-anchored instead of dropped, reducing org false positives and misses together
  • •Pseudonym restore overhaul: export in pseudonym mode writes an encrypted .maskmap; afterwards you can restore the original text with the mapping file + redacted file + passphrase, without keeping the pre-redaction original; supports document-level and project-level restore, with long-running project jobs in Task Center
  • •Human review: table pseudonyms can be checked cell by cell; the project / document dictionary flags suspect duplicates that differ only by spaces or punctuation, so the same party does not get two aliases
  • •Supplemental redaction: after selecting text or drawing a box, confirm the type before it is written, with smarter classification; scroll position is kept after reapply, so long-document fixes no longer jump back to the top
  • •Fixed Word preview hover clipping the last character, the type picker escaping the window in macOS fullscreen, and occasional crashes on Mac quit; remask reuses existing geometry so a second pass is faster
  • •Windows and macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon) ship together

v1.1.7
