I must share a payroll workpaper with department managers but the file contains account numbers and social security numbers. I need to redact correctly so the data cannot be recovered. Explain the difference between visible redaction and metadata removal, list the exact redaction steps I should follow now, and the verification that shows redacted data is unrecoverable.
