Redact student assessments submitted to Canvas for moderation using Foxit

How to redact Canvas assessment for moderation for Foxit users.

Open your PDF file that contains both student’s work and the teacher’s annotations side by side on the same page by using Foxit PDF Editor. Then follow the steps below to deidentify the identities of both the student and the lecturer.  

  1. Open your PDF file. 
  2. Select Computer. 
  3. Browse to find the file. 
  1. Click on Protect at the top of the page.   
  2. Then click on Mark for Redaction.  
  3. An info box titled Using Redaction Tools pops up, click OK to accept it.  
  1. Select Text & Images.  
  2. Next search and select ALL identities of the student(s) and lecturer(s) on all pages and page headers if available, including their names, initials and ID numbers. 
  3. Click Apply Redactions to remove these identities. 
  1. A warning pops up, read it and  Click OK, you are now ready to save. 
  1. Go to File, and click.  
  2. Choose Save and locate the folder you intend to save the file to. 

Redaction is now complete.
