I have an invoice from [vendor=Sterling Freight] that shows their bank account and routing in the footer. Purchasing needs the invoice to approve a price issue, but non-finance staff must not see banking details. I’m worried about accidentally leaving metadata or making the file unusable. Walk me through the safe redaction steps that hide the bank info and ensure the redaction cannot be reversed, tell me where to save the redacted copy, and suggest the short note to Purchasing explaining the change.

The real tasks
