Review detections, then remove, replace, or mask

The side panel is where you review what BeeSensible found. Click the BeeSensible icon in the toolbar to open it. The panel updates in real time as you type or paste content. Close it with the icon again or with Escape.

#What's in the list

Each detection appears as a row with:

• The category (for example, Email address, IBAN, Passport number).
• A short, partially redacted preview of the value.
• A severity badge (yellow or red).
• Three action buttons: Remove, Replace, Mask.

Detections are sorted by severity, with the highest at the top.

#The three actions

#Remove

Deletes the value from your text. Use this when the data is not needed for the task. After Remove, you may need to rewrite the surrounding sentence so the gap does not confuse the reader.

#Replace

Swaps the real value for a labelled placeholder. Use this in AI prompts: the model still understands the structure of your request without seeing the real data.

Draft a follow-up email to [PERSON_NAME] at [EMAIL_ADDRESS].

The placeholder labels follow the detection category your admin configured.

#Mask

Replaces the value with a redaction block while keeping its rough length. Use this for screenshots and printed material where structure matters but the value must not be visible.

In plain prompts, Mask is less useful than Replace because the model cannot read structure from a block of filled characters.

#Handle all at once

The Handle all button at the top of the panel applies one action to every detection. Useful after pasting a block of text with multiple sensitive values.

#Sending without acting

There is no block on sending. If you have reviewed the detections and decided they are fine to share in this context, close the panel and send the message as normal.

#Choosing the right action

You can undo any action with Ctrl+Z (Windows or Linux) or ⌘Z (Mac).
