On versions of Identity Cloak 6.0.0 onwards you will find that our manual redaction options have moved, previously you had the option to manually redact either with a rectangle or a circle on the tracking screen. You will now find the option to manually redact on the adjustment screen as well as on the tracking screen, these options are: - Manual adjustment - allows you to add in or remove redaction frame-by-frame  - [Dynamic adjustment](https://knowledgebase.facit.ai/knowledge/6.0.0/how-to-use-the-dynamic-adjustment?hsLang=en) - allows you to add in or remove redaction in the same area whilst automatically playing the video - [Permanent masking](https://knowledgebase.facit.ai/knowledge/6.0.0/how-to-use-the-permenant-mask?hsLang=en)  - add in a set area of redaction for the entirety of the video - [Manual tracking](https://knowledgebase.facit.ai/knowledge/6.0.0/how-to-manually-track?hsLang=en)- will add redaction or clear redaction throughout your video depending on which mode you are in #### To make a manual adjustment: 1.
