Every time omeone creates a spreadsheet or DB table, they have to review which parts of it are revealable under FOIA? That is... an insane burden.

I believe they already do something like this. In some declassified documents, each sentence or paragraph is labelled with its classification level.

I think this makes it easier for the FOIA processors to redact.

This pertains to word documents.
