Just like the pixelation tool and the highlight tool there should be a dedicated redact/black out button. There have been more recent reports that pixelation can be reversed. While I do know there is an option to create a Square and fill it with black color, it would be better if we can have a quick tool to perform that action as I usually have the Transparent Rectangle Tool with a Red Border to highlight or draw focus to other areas.
Having the dedicated redact button would save a lot of time and reduce clicking by a lot. Another option is possible to create favorites of different Retangle Colors and Borders for re-use.
