Is there a way remove the ‘Redact’ button without removing the toolbar itself?

The reason why i’d like this is because I want to add a new button to the toolbar but get rid of the ‘Redact’ button.

Thanks

We will put this on our list - no reason not to easily add this API I think. Will keep you updated.

@39rc Please update to the latest version on NPM `0.12.1` and use `ANNOTATION_REDACTION` to hide this button - see: [References - MuPDF WebViewer](https://webviewer-docs.mupdf.com/api-reference/refs#view) .. Note: We may rename this to `TOOLBAR_REDACTION` at some point as I believe the naming here is confusing! However, in the meantime please just use this `ref`

@39rc My bad, I had just misunderstood things here - the reference is (and always was)`TOOLBAR_REDACTION`in version `0.12.1`. Please use `TOOLBAR_REDACTION`, I have also updated the docs!
