Pixelate is not a safe redaction
Pixelate hides detail but is a visual effect. For secrets, check the result before you share. Automatic secret redaction is coming soon.
Tips
- Use Counter for step-by-step bug reports.
- Edit a capture that is in a project and the project copy updates too.
- A capture open in the editor cannot be renamed or trashed. Close the editor first.
