Blurring text for privacy

I'm building courses for the staff at a college and it is sometimes necessary to display personal information on students in screenshots.  Is there a way to blur this information to keep it private?...

I find it both hilarious and concerning that so many posters expect Articulate to address their data integrity concerns, while continuing to engage in unsafe PII practices. Don't want a stranger walking into you house unannounced? Lock the bloody door. Don't want the dog chowing down your dinner when go get a drink? Don't leave it in a location the dog can easily get to. Don't want sensitive information to get out into the wild? Don't capture screens from a production system with sensitive information on it in the first place. This isn't rocket science.

It's too simplistic way of thinking. Clearly you haven't worked for a large multinational companies with their immense IT and high security demands on one hand and various systems on the other hand which you have to build a simulation to learn the complex systems using real data because there are no sandbox available. If you are using Articulate to build simple things for elementary school, then you don't need anything particular. Just try working for multinational company and demand them to purchase a sandbox on existing systems because you need to build a training simulation. Then you will know what we are talking about.

you are totally right, my friend, "just ask them to purchase a sandbox" and see yourself growing old :))))
