Need to change redaction color after redaction editing has taken place

I have redacted a document using the default color black. I have been told, the redaction color should be blue instead of black. Is there a way to apply the color change to all redacted text at the same time or must it be done individually?

I have figured out an easier way, that does not involve code.  Open the document, go to the comments tab.  Select all redactions (you can do this by clicking the top one and then Shift clicking the bottom one on the list.).  Then right click the selected comments and choose properties.  This will open the window that allows you to change the color of all the redactions.

Thank you!  So much easier than messing around with any coding.  Also your method allows me to change the color of individual redactions if I want to, rather than just a blanket color change.

Does anyone know the answer to this?  We are currently being asked to mark up documents to be redacted in red, but aren't yet applying the changes as the client has to approve them first.  There is a posibility that the client will decide to change the redaction colour.  Is there a way to apply a blanket change to all of the existing marked up redactions at once, ore do we have to do them all individually?

Select the redact markups and change the properties.

Did you already apply the redactions?

The content is marked for redaction, but the redaction has not yet been applied.
