Inserting Side Markings
To insert side markings, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to the drop-down menu at the top of the screen when you are on a specific document.-Jun-28-2024-10-46-07-8595-AM.png?width=688&height=285&name=Cleardox%20(4)-Jun-28-2024-10-46-07-8595-AM.png)
Side markings can be inserted in two ways:
- Automatic Side Marking: Highlight the text, and the side marking will appear automatically in the right margin. If you have chosen book layout in Layout and Design, the side marking will automatically place itself on both the right and left sides.

- Manual Side Marking: You can also manually place the side marking in the document. This is typically relevant when dealing with images, tables, or columns. Click the icon in the toolbar below and place the line where it should be. Cleardox ensures it is vertical, so you don't have to worry about crooked lines.
Can I Change the Line Color?
Yes, we have an article about that here: Change Line Color
If you have previously anonymized content in Cleardox's anonymization mode, it will be shown fully anonymized in Legal Binder mode. This ensures that any opposing party adding their side markings in Cleardox does not see sensitive content, such as an unpublished ruling that must be included in the materials or extracts.
