Templates are helpful in ensuring consistency in how bulk redaction is applied to various types of data.  ### Create a Bulk Redaction Template 1. In your CloudNine Review Project, **Select Tools - Redactions - Bulk Redaction** to open the Bulk Redaction screen.  2. Select your **Document Selection**, **Redaction Type**, **Full Text Search Redactions,** and/or **PII Entities to Redact**, and any **Values to Exclude**.   ![BulkRedactionTemplat1](https://kb.cloudnine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB_C9R/BulkRedactionTemplat1.png?width=455&height=377&name=BulkRedactionTemplat1.png) 3. At the top of the **Bulk Redaction** screen, in the **Template** section,click the **Create** button. 4. You are on the **Create Bulk Redaction Template**.  Enter a template **Name**.  5. Enter an optional **Description** of the redaction template. ![BulkRedactTemplateCreate](https://kb.cloudnine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB_C9R/BulkRedactTemplateCreate.png?width=481&height=155&name=BulkRedactTemplateCreate.png) 6. Click **Create. ** 7. You are returned to the PII Redaction window, and the Template is created and selected from the drop-down list. The description appears under the selected Template.  ![RedactTemplateMenu](https://kb.cloudnine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB_C9R/RedactTemplateMenu.png?width=655&height=87&name=RedactTemplateMenu.png) When a **Template** is selected, you will notice two additional buttons: 1. **Update: **Disabled until Document Selection, Redaction Type, Entities to Redact, or Values to Exclude are changed. If changes are made, the **Update** button is available to save the changes to the existing PII Redaction Template. 2. **Create Copy:** You can create a copy of the selected PII Redaction Template to make changes without changing the original template. If **Create Copy** is selected, the **Create PII Redaction Template** window opens. Change the **Name** and **Description,** then click **Create** to add a new template to the **Template** list.  ### Manage Bulk Redaction Templates Bulk Redactions Templates are managed in the **Manage Bulk Redactions Templates** window.  **Select Tools-Redactions-PII Redactions**.  In the **Template** section, click the **Manage Template** option. ![ManageTemplates](https://kb.cloudnine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KB_C9R/ManageTemplates.png?width=688&height=52&name=ManageTemplates.png) The **Manage PII Redaction Templates** window opens, displaying the templates table.
