Settings profiles
Quick Setup in the app applies a complete, ready-made configuration for a specific workflow in one click - subject access and FOI responses, court and tribunal bundles, regulator-grade record-keeping, or a clean document with no apparatus at all. Every profile sets every option below, so switching profiles turns things off as well as on, and your settings always correspond to exactly one profile (or "Custom" once you fine-tune).
| Setting | RedactProof default For: A sensible baseline for everyone | SAR / FOI response Pro For: HR, DPOs, records and practice teams | Litigation / tribunal bundle Pro For: Solicitors, paralegals, tribunal prep | Just the redacted doc For: Recruiters, agents, quick one-off jobs | Compliance evidence Pro For: Compliance teams, regulated firms, investigations |

Profiles marked Pro need a Pro plan for exemption codes, itemised records and Bates. PDF metadata is always removed on export regardless of profile. A profile changes only the Export settings answers, saves straight away, and each change is recorded in your settings audit history.
SAR / FOI response
For statutory disclosure: subject access requests, FOI responses and records requests. Every withholding must be attributed to an exemption code before export, redaction labels show a reference ID plus the exemption code, and the certificate lists each redaction individually - the document you can defend line by line to a requester or the ICO.
Litigation / tribunal bundle
Court-ready output: Bates numbering across the bundle, an evidence ZIP (certificate, redaction log and verification file together, beside the redacted PDF), a redaction table on the certificate, and export blocked until every redaction is attributed.
Compliance evidence
The same evidential core as the litigation bundle but built for internal and regulated record-keeping rather than court: every export must produce a verifiable certificate - if the signing service is unreachable the export fails rather than shipping without one - and there are no court stamps on the pages.
Just the redacted doc
A clean redacted PDF with plain black boxes and nothing else - no certificate, no logs. Metadata is still removed on export. For blind CVs, property documents and quick one-off jobs.
RedactProof default
The configuration every new account starts with: reference numbers on the boxes, certificate and logs on, separate files, warnings rather than hard blocks. It is also the way back - applying it resets the workflow settings to a known baseline, with a preview of what will change.
Profiles live in Settings → Export settings (also reachable from the Detections cog and the export window). Applying one takes a single click.
