The entries panel
The right side of the editor is the list of entries — one row for every replacement. This is the real working surface: most of your time in the editor is spent here, reading rows and fixing the ones that need it.
What a row tells you
Section titled “What a row tells you”Each row packs a lot into a small space. Reading left to right: a switch, a type tag (in the flat list; grouped, the category header carries it), the original text, an arrow to the replacement, and edit / remove buttons. Some rows carry an ×N occurrences badge. The full breakdown is in anatomy of an entry.
The header row
Section titled “The header row”At the top of the panel:
- Entries, the panel’s title, then a Page N filter: click it to list only what’s on the page in view (see below).
- A purple + button — add an entry the model missed.
- A highlighter / draw button — turn on the drawing tool (a highlighter for Word and text, a box-draw tool for PDFs).
Search and filter
Section titled “Search and filter”Below the header is a search box. Type to filter the list by original text, replacement, or type. A few ways people use it:
- Search a person’s first name to find every entry tied to them and confirm they’re all handled.
- Search
EMAIL(or any type) to review one category at a time. - Search a fake value to check it didn’t accidentally collide with real text elsewhere.
Search only filters the view — it never changes what’s applied. See searching entries for more.
Grouped by category
Section titled “Grouped by category”The text entries sit under a Text header with their count and a switch that turns them all on or off at once. By default they’re grouped by category (NAME, ORG, ID, EMAIL…), largest first. Each category has its own switch, so one click leaves every ORG in clear, and a caret that folds it away.
On the right of the Text header, two buttons collapse or expand every category, and the two-icon toggle beside them switches between the grouped and the flat list. Piixie remembers which one you picked.
A category reads 6/43 when only some of its entries are on. Its switch is then half-tinted, and switching it turns all of them on. Each of these switches is a single step for undo.
While you search, the switches act on what the search shows, and collapsed categories open so no match stays hidden.
The page in view
Section titled “The page in view”The panel follows the document as you scroll. The entries found on the page in view are tinted, with a purple bar on their left (their category header gets the bar too), and the list scrolls to the first of them. It holds still while your pointer is over the panel, so it never moves a row from under you.
The Page N filter in the header lists only that page: its text entries, and for a PDF, its images and drawn areas. Entries you’ve switched off are listed too, so you can switch them on. As with a search, the switches act on what’s listed, and every category stays open. Click the filter again to see the whole document.
The three things you do to a row
Section titled “The three things you do to a row”Click a row to find its values in the document: they light up, and the view scrolls to the first one.
- Turn it off — flip the switch to leave that value untouched in the output. The model over-redacted a public company name? Switch it off. See turning entries on and off.
- Edit it — the pencil opens the edit dialog to fix the detected text or change the replacement.
- Remove it — the trash deletes the row entirely.
Below the list
Section titled “Below the list”When a document has them, two more sections appear:
- Images, above the text entries — thumbnails of embedded images with a blur switch each, and one in the header that blurs all of them. See redacting images.
- Drawn areas, below the text entries — the redaction boxes you’ve drawn on the page, each toggleable and removable.
It all regenerates together
Section titled “It all regenerates together”Every change in this panel — a switch, an edit, a new entry, a drawn box — marks the document for regeneration. With Auto on (the default), the anonymized view refreshes a beat later so it always matches the list. With Auto off, hit Refresh. Either way, your real output file is untouched until you Save to output.
