Simple installation
Installing on Windows
RedactorFlow is distributed through the Microsoft Store, so installation is a single click with no separate license file or manual security override needed. Because it's a verified Store listing, Windows won't show a SmartScreen warning during install, the kind of prompt you'd typically see when installing software from outside the Store. Everything then runs locally: your PC never uploads a file or contacts a server to process a redaction, which matters most for schools and public bodies handling SAR/FOI requests on managed devices.
Private by design
Why local processing matters on Windows
Most online redaction tools require uploading your PDF to a server before they can even start. RedactorFlow never does this. Every scan, detection, and redaction happens on your PC. Your files never leave your device or your organisation's network, an important distinction for schools and public bodies handling SAR/FOI requests on managed devices.

Frequently asked questions
Will Windows show a security warning when I install RedactorFlow?
No. Because RedactorFlow is distributed through the Microsoft Store, it's already verified, so you won't see a SmartScreen or "unknown publisher" warning during install.
Can I use RedactorFlow on a school or council-managed Windows device?
Store installation and use may be controlled by your organisation's device-management policies. Check with your IT administrator if Microsoft Store access is restricted.
Does RedactorFlow need an internet connection to redact documents?
No. All processing happens locally on your PC once RedactorFlow is installed.
Is RedactorFlow suitable for GDPR, SAR, or FOI compliance?
Yes, it's built specifically for these workflows, with audit logs generated for every redaction session.
