# RedactionType

The method to use for replacing text when you use redaction. You can use one of the following options:

- `Normalize`. Replace a match with the normalized form of the text. For example, you could replace a match ten to nine twenty third of June with the normalized version 8:50 23rd of June.
- `Replace`. Replace a match with a censored string or replacement character.
- `Entity`. Replace the match with the name of the matching entity.

NOTE: If you set AllowOverlaps to `True`, you cannot set `RedactionType` to `Normalize`, because Eduction Server cannot normalize overlapping phrases.
