Reviewing the result¶
The result screen is where the tool earns its keep: it shows you exactly what was redacted, why, and lets you correct it.

The header¶
- Status — the leakage validator's verdict (Warnings & validation).
- Exportieren — always acts on the anonymized result, whichever panels are visible (Exporting).
- Neues Dokument — discards everything and returns to the input screen.
The panels¶
Chips above the panels toggle up to three views side by side:
| Chip | Panel |
|---|---|
| Original | The untouched upload (PDF sources render the original file) or the extracted source text. |
| Prüfung | Quellprüfung — the source text with entities highlighted. The main working view. |
| Ergebnis | The anonymized text, or the redacted PDF for PDF sources. |
In expert mode the redacted PDF and the anonymized text become separate chips, so you can show both at once.
Reading the highlights¶

Each mark is coloured by what happened to it, and the legend above the text names the statuses actually present in this document — colour is never the only signal:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Entfernt | Replaced by a placeholder such as [ADRESSE]. |
| Getaggt | Replaced by a consistent tag such as [PERSON_1] — the same person carries the same number throughout. |
| Verallgemeinert | Reduced, e.g. a date to its year. |
| Beibehalten | Left visible, either by policy (clinical dates) or by your decision. |
A small purple dot marks an entity you changed. A yellow highlight is not an entity at all — it is a passage a validation warning points at.
The counts under the panels (Person 3 · Adresse 2 · …) are clickable: each
click jumps to the next occurrence of that type.
Correcting an entity¶
Click a mark to open the detail bar:

| Action | Effect |
|---|---|
| Beibehalten | Keep this passage visible. |
| Schwärzen | Redact a passage that was preserved. |
| Type dropdown | Correct a wrong type — the new type's transformation applies immediately. |
| Zurücksetzen | Undo your change for this entity. |
Every change re-runs the transformation on the server from the cached detection: the anonymized text and the redacted-PDF preview refresh together, and the original document is never modified. Corrections are per occurrence, not per string.
The LLM re-check does not repeat
The final LLM audit runs on the full run only. After a correction you get an informational note saying so. Press Neues Dokument and re-run if you want a fresh audit of the corrected output.
Redacting something no detector found¶
Select any text in the Quellprüfung panel and a Schwärzen pill appears at the end of the selection. The selected span becomes a first-class entity (marked as Manuelle Schwärzung), goes through the same overlap resolution as everything else, and applies to the export.
This is the right tool for the things detectors are weakest at: an unusual identifier, a distinctive free-text detail, a nickname.
For a term that occurs many times — or that you want redacted in every document of a batch — use Immer schwärzen in the advanced settings instead.
Blacking out areas of a PDF¶
Signatures, letterheads, stamps, and photos are pixels, not text, so no text detector can find them. In the Geschwärztes PDF panel, press Bereiche schwärzen and drag a rectangle over anything that should be covered:

The editor shows the original pages, not the redacted preview — the text redaction is applied to the export on top of the areas you draw here.
- Click an existing rectangle to remove it.
- Alle Bilder schwärzen covers every embedded image the backend found, in one click.
- Areas apply to the redacted-PDF preview and export only; text exports are unaffected.
