Selecting files for an uploaded file pipeline

On a self-hosted instance, before you can upload files to a pipeline, you must configure the S3 bucket where Tonic Textual stores the files. For more information, go to Setting the S3 bucket for file uploads and redactions.

For an example of an IAM role that has the required permissions for file upload pipelines, go to Example IAM role for file uploads and redactions.

Adding files to the pipeline

Indicating whether to also redact the files

By default, Textual only generates the JSON output for the pipeline files.

To also generate versions of the original files that redact or synthesize the detected entity values, on the Pipeline Settings page, toggle Synthesize Files to the on position.
