Tips and troubleshooting

Symptom Cause and remedy
A document stays “Processing” for a long time Large documents and OCR take time; the list refreshes automatically. If it stays stuck permanently, speak to your administrator (the background service).
Status Failed after upload Open the error list in the project view: documents with macros are always blocked; unlock password-protected PDFs through “Enter password”; otherwise use “Retry”.
A word keeps being redacted It is in the project dictionary → a right click with Shift adds it to the exception list (or use the Exception list section in the panel).
A word is redacted despite an exception Redactions set manually take precedence over the exception list — remove the document-specific entry in the panel.
The Download menu is missing or shows only “PDF (edited)” Your role permits only restricted downloads (“Redacted only”, for example) — contact your administrator if you need more.
“This document is not approved and therefore cannot be downloaded.” The project exports approved documents only — review the document first and have it approved.
A project is missing from your list No role has been assigned to you (yet) — contact your administrator.
The search does not find a new document The search index is updated once processing finishes — wait a moment and search again.
