cancelRedactEvents()

API Stability	`Long-Term`

The cancelRedactEvents() GraphQL mutation is used to cancel a previously submitted redaction. Returns true if the redaction was cancelled; returns false otherwise. Cancellation is best effort. If some events have already been redacted, they aren't restored.

For more information on creating views to redact data, see the Creating a Repository or View documentation page. You may also want to look at General Settings for related information.
