The characters of the word or string are replaced by the ▇ symbol.\n\nIf the comment was made by email, the endpoint also attempts to redact the string from the original email retained by Zendesk for audit purposes.\n\n**Note**: If you use the rich text editor, support for redacting formatted text (bold, italics, hyperlinks) is limited.\n\nRedaction is permanent. You can't undo the redaction or see *what* was removed.
