Hello all,

When using the Find and Redact function, if you specify a word that includes a hyphen-minus (-) at the end, the hyphen-minus (-) is not redacted correctly. When using the Find and Replace function to replace the word, the hyphen-minus (-) at the end is included in the replacement. Am I misunderstanding how to use the Find and Redact feature?

In the video, the following text is added as base content, and the Find and Redact function and Find and Replace function are applied.

Code: Select all

Best regards,
