Late-Stage Auto-Redact

The Late-Stage Auto-Redact option on the Edit section of the eXtyles ribbon.

Available in:

Late-Stage Auto-Redact can perform more focused editorial cleanup by leveraging the styling that has been applied to the document via eXtyles Advanced Processes. For example, Late-Stage Auto-Redact can change hyphens to en-dashes specifically in volume numbers in references.

It can also perform a simple content audit prior to XML export to check whether content has been styled correctly in Word; for example, if the References heading has been styled as a Head 1 rather than a References Head.

Perform the following steps to apply Late-Stage Auto-Redact to a document.
