$[ABC]$ or $[\triangle ABC]$. This notation is not uncommon. I also see it here a good deal. Art of Problem Solving mentions this as alternative notation.

In case the selected document already contains drafted redactions, click Redact draft to open it for redaction, review, and apply the changes.

Use the Save as draft option to continue redacting the document later and/or let your colleagues review your redaction marks before applying them.

When choosing a document for AI redaction, keep in mind that our system supports input up to approximately 512,000 characters, which roughly translates to:

Ultimately, you can use whatever notation meets your expositional needs. Given the variety of options out there, you best serve your audience by explicitly defining your usage on first appearance: Here we see that $|\triangle ABC| = 25$, where "$|x|$" indicates the area of $x$.

This option allows searching and redacting certain words or phrases across the whole document. To find and mark specific text:

The redacted version of a document will become available to all participants with access to the document, including administrators.

Redaction marks will be automatically applied to each page of the document in the selected area. You can remove redaction marks from the specific pages if needed.

You can also unredact and download unredacted files in bulk if there are any redacted documents among the selected folders or files.

Redaction is the process of removing text or areas from a document containing any sensitive or confidential information. Redacted content appears blacked-out for participants.

This option allows redacting specific areas on each page of the document without going through each page manually. To do so:

$|\triangle ABC|$. This is my notation of choice, as it fairly-obviously extends $|\overline{AB}|$ (and even $|-3|$), so that "$|x|$" means "the measure of $x$", whatever $x$ might be (number, segment, region, etc.). MathWorld uses it in their "Area Principle" entry. (The entry also uses square-brackets to represent "signed" ratios of areas.)

As soon as you confirm and unredact a document, previously redacted content will become available to participants with access to this file. Saved redaction drafts will also be deleted if there were any for the selected documents. This action cannot be undone, but you can redact documents anew if needed.

If you no longer need to redact a document, or you'd like to mark it up from scratch, just click on the Delete draft button. This action will discard all drafted changes.

💡 All documents are scanned for optical character recognition (OCR), and its accuracy depends on the document's original quality. We highly recommend reviewing all redaction marks to ensure all items were found and marked correctly.

The process of detecting sensitive information will start automatically. After detection, recognized information will be divided into categories, each highlighted a different color both in the document text, and in the Redactions panel.

You can also apply redactions or delete drafted redactions right from the context menu by choosing the corresponding option.

$S_{ABC}$. I see this notation fairly often here on Math.SE, but I dislike how it relegates the most important part of the symbol to a subscript. I'm not entirely sure why the "$S$" is used; for "surface", perhaps? Art of Problem Solving's "Area" page suggests subscripted "$A$" or "$K$". (It even mentions that $K_{ABCDEF}$ could denote the area of a hexagon.)

This option allows you to select and redact any area in the document, whether images, text phrases, or the whole paragraph or page. To redact areas in your document:

You can check all found matches using the navigation elements before clicking Mark for redaction or after, on the right-side panel.

If you need to review all documents with unfinished redactions, use filters Drafted and Applied and has new draft, and simply click on each document to open its redaction draft.

$(\text{area}\; \triangle ABC)$. This verbose form is perfectly acceptable in situations where it's not worth burdening the audience with an obscure symbol for something you won't use very often anyway. (I used this approach in this answer I recently posted.)

The redacted PDF version will replace the original. All marked areas and texts will be removed from the document and will not appear in search results.

$(ABC)$ or $(\triangle ABC)$. I've seen this, but only very rarely; that's perhaps because parentheses are already quite overloaded in math notation (and text!).

Administrators can download unredacted versions of documents and unredact them at any stage of the project for other participants if needed.

Stack Exchange network consists of 183 Q&A communities including Stack Overflow, the largest, most trusted online community for developers to learn, share their knowledge, and build their careers.

Applied and has new draft: documents with both applied and drafted redaction marks. Meaning, some of the changes are already available for participants, and some need to be reviewed and applied.

💡 Only administrators and participants with upload permission have access to redaction drafts. Participants with lower permission levels will not see the changes until they are applied.

Q&A attachments cannot be redacted. It is recommended to remove any sensitive content from such files before uploading them to the data room.

Utilize our advanced AI redaction for precise detection and removal of sensitive information, ensuring your data remains secure and confidential both at rest and in transit.
