Opening the editor
The editor opens documents you’ve already anonymized. There’s nothing to set up — every completed run can be opened and edited.
From the Completed list
Section titled “From the Completed list”In the main window, switch to the Completed tab. Each row is one anonymization run. On the right of the row, click the editor icon — two overlapping frames. The editor opens in a new window for that document.
You can also reach it from a run’s other actions; see History for everything a completed row offers (open the output, open the original, reveal in Finder, re-queue, rename, clear).
What loads
Section titled “What loads”When the window opens it shows the anonymized result, not the raw original — you want to see what you’re about to send first. Behind that, the editor loads:
- The original document, rendered locally (PDF, Word, or text — see the viewer).
- Every entry the run produced — the full replacement list, on the right.
- Any embedded images the model flagged, as thumbnails you can blur.
- Your saved templates, ready to apply.
The first time a document opens, Piixie regenerates a fresh anonymized version from the saved entries so the view matches the list exactly. That takes a moment; after that, everything is instant.
Open several at once
Section titled “Open several at once”Each editor is its own window. Open one document, then go back to the main window and open another — both stay live. Changes you make and save in one show up in that document’s history entry; the windows don’t fight over each other.
This matters for real review work: keep a reference document open while you fix a trickier one, or line up three variants of the same form to compare how they came out.
If a document won’t open
Section titled “If a document won’t open”The editor needs the original file to render the left pane and to draw new redactions against. If you moved or deleted the original after the run, the entry list and the anonymized output still load, but the “open original” button and the drawing tool have nothing to work from. Keep originals around until you’ve finished reviewing.
