The redaction tool in the Windows 11 Snipping Tool allows you to hide sensitive information in screenshots before sharing them. It helps protect personal and confidential details by covering selected areas of an image, making it safer to include screenshots in documents, emails, or online learning materials. Use Windows Key + SHIFT + S to activate the snipping tool.
