Viewing Spreadsheets

When viewing a spreadsheet, you can use several tools to manage sensitive content. These options include applying standard redactions, redacting and viewing comments, headers, and footers, and controlling the visibility of redactions, charts, and objects using the toggle controls below.

Headers & Footers

To view the Headers and Footers on a spreadsheet, click the grid icon on the right of the document viewer.

Comments

To view the comments on a spreadsheet, click the comments icon on the right of the document viewer.

Object Visibility

When viewing a spreadsheet, Blackout can change the visibility of objects to improve and streamline document review using the visibility toggles in the top-left of the document viewer. By default, the objects start in a solid (visible) state, but can be changed to transparent or hidden.

Viewing PDFs and Images

Blackout provides zoom controls when viewing PDF and Image documents, allowing you to adjust the document size to match your review preferences while continuing to navigate and review content normally.

Zooming In and Out

To change the zoom level while viewing a PDF or Image document:

1. Locate the zoom controls in the toolbar on the top right side of the document viewer.
2. Enter a zoom percentage in the zoom field, or use the + and − buttons to increase or decrease the zoom level.
3. Alternatively, hold CTRL while using the mouse wheel to quickly zoom in and out of the document.

Selecting a Zoom Mode

The zoom mode dropdown provides additional options for automatically sizing the document within the viewer:

• Automatic Zoom: automatically selects an appropriate zoom level when the document is opened.
• Fit to Page: scales the document so that an entire page is visible within the viewer.
• Fit to Width: scales the document to match the width of the viewer window.

Your zoom settings are maintained as you navigate between PDF and Image documents. Refreshing the page resets the zoom settings to automatic zoom.

Redaction Visibility

When viewing a document, Blackout can change the visibility of redactions to improve and streamline document review using the visibility toggles in the top-left of the document viewer. By default, the redaction toggle start in a solid (visible) state, but can be changed to transparent or hidden.
