Review detections and replace, mask, or delete
How the popup and side panel work, and how to choose between actions.
Use the popup or side panel to review what BeeSensible found. Click the BeeSensible icon in the toolbar to open detections.
What is in the list
Each detection shows:
- the data type, such as email address, name, or financial data;
- a short preview of the value;
- the detection level;
- actions to replace, mask, or delete the value.
Replace
Replace turns the real value into a fictional but realistic-looking value. Use it when the structure of your text should stay intact, but the real data should not be shared.
Email Sarah Johnson at sarah@example.com
can become:
Email Alex Smith at alex@sample.org
Mask
Mask replaces the value with a category placeholder, such as [EMAIL] or [PERSON_NAME]. This is useful for prompts where the model needs to understand what kind of information was there without seeing the real value.
Delete
Delete removes the value from your text. Check afterward that the sentence still reads correctly.
Apply to all
You can apply an action to all occurrences of the same value. This is useful when the same name, email, or code appears multiple times.
Send without action
Sending is not blocked. If you reviewed the detections and it is fine to share them in this context, close the panel and send the message as normal.
Choosing the right action
| Situation | Best action |
|---|---|
| The data is not needed and can be removed | Delete |
| Text structure should stay intact | Replace |
| The prompt only needs the data type | Mask |
| Unsure | Replace |
Every action can be undone with Ctrl+Z (Windows or Linux) or ⌘Z (Mac).
