      Redaction Logs

      Learn how to produce a redaction or exemption log for your redacted files.

      Redactions logs are important for communicating why certain information has been redacted from files that you release to the requester and/or the public. In some jurisdictions a redaction or exemption log may be required if you are redacting files, we recommend reviewing your local laws regarding your obligation to produce redaction or exemption logs. Learn more about creating custom redaction reasons to populate the redaction log in this help article: Create a custom redaction reason.
