Redaction Fill Modes allow you to make redactions appear opaque, translucent, or transparent. The Opaque mode makes the redaction invisible but adds color (if any color is chosen, otherwise white is the default redaction color). The Translucent mode makes the redacted image visible while adding color to the redacted area. The Transparent mode outlines the redacted area, but with no color in the redaction.
NOTE: When you load redactions or create new redactions, the Fill Mode is determined based on the configuration of the Fill Mode for Redactions field in your Document Preferences.
