We combined notes from three people and the text boxes vary across pages—some names overlap, bullets misalign, and one box runs into the footer. I don’t know whether to consolidate into a single flowing text box or keep multiple anchored boxes.

Questions people ask

honest answers

Because you rarely think 'I want the redaction tool'. You think 'I have to share this without leaking the client's details'. Start from the need, and the feature finds you.
