Volume batch redaction is the removal of personal data from a whole production set in one workflow, produced under FRCP 34. anonym.plus applies the same rules across every file, with a shared label map.
When this applies
One delivery can run to hundreds of files, with the same people in many. One-by-one work risks drift, so a batch run keeps each redaction even.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Point anonym.plus at the source folder on your device.
- It scans each file for the full PII set.
- A shared map keeps repeat people steady across the run.
- Review the summary and fix low-confidence flags.
- Replace or redact each confirmed value.
- Save the clean batch on your device.
What you need to provide
- A folder of files (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, or mixed).
- The shared label map turned on for steady results.
- Batch mode of up to 20 files per run.

Limitations & cautions
Mixed folders (some scanned, some native) lean on OCR for image files, so review low-confidence flags from scans. A shared map keeps results even, but guard that map, since it can re-link the whole set if kept.
Frequently asked questions
How does batch mode keep one person steady?
A shared map logs each person once, so the same individual maps to the same alias in every file across the run.
How many files run at once?
Batch mode handles up to 20 files per run, each processed on your own device.
Can the batch mix PDFs, DOCX, and scans?
Yes. Mixed types work. Scanned files are read with local OCR before the check.
