# Selecting the view

## De-identified view - output

For a de-identified file, the preview by default shows the de-identified view, which reflects the output version of the file.

Sensitive values are redacted, synthesized, or ignored based on the dataset configuration.

For PDF and image files, for entity types that use the **Redact** handling option, the values are covered by black boxes.

For other types of files, redacted values are replaced with the entity type followed by a unique identifier.

## Original view - source

To display the original version of the file, click the original value icon. In original view, the detected entities are highlighted.
