    "description": "Redaction allows you to permanently remove words, strings, or attachments from a ticket comment.\n\nIn the `html_body` of the comment, wrap the content you want redacted in `<redact>` tags. Example:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"html_body\": \"<div class=\\\"zd-comment\\\" dir=\\\"auto\\\">My ID number is <redact>847564</redact>!</div>\",\n  \"ticket_id\":100\n}\n```\n\nThe characters in the redact tag will be replaced by the ▇ symbol.\n\nTo redact inline images and anchor tags, add the individual attribute `redact` to the element. Example: `<a href=\"http://example.com\" redact>some link</a>`.\n\nRedaction is permanent and can not be undone. Data is permanently deleted from Zendesk servers with no way to recover it.\n\nThis endpoint provides all the same functionality that the [Redact String in Comment](/api-reference/ticketing/tickets/ticket_comments/#redact-string-in-comment) endpoint provides, plus:\n\n- Redaction of comments in closed tickets\n\n- Redaction of comments in archived tickets\n\n- Redaction of formatted text (bold, italics, hyperlinks)\n\n**Limitations**: When content is redacted from an email comment, the content is also redacted from the original email through a background job. It may take a while for the changes to be completed.\n\n**Note**: We recommend using this endpoint instead of the [Redact String in Comment](/api-reference/ticketing/tickets/ticket_comments/#redact-string-in-comment) endpoint, which will eventually be deprecated.\n\n#### Allowed For\n\n- Agents\n\n[Agent Workspace](https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360024218473) must be enabled on the account. For professional accounts, deleting tickets must be enabled for agents. On Enterprise accounts, you can assign agents to a custom role with permissions to redact ticket content.\n\n#### Request Body Properties\n\n| Name                     | Type    | Required | Description                                                                                                                                      |\n| -------------------------| ------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |\n| ticket_id                | integer | true     | The ID of the ticket                                                                                                                             |\n| html_body                | string  | false    | The `html_body` of the comment containing `<redact>` tags or `redact` attributes                                           |\n| external_attachment_urls | array   | false    | Array of attachment URLs belonging to the comment to be redacted.
