Does whiteout permanently remove the covered text?
No. It is a visual overlay only. Use a proper redaction process when content must be removed.

Visual cover only, not redaction
Whiteout adds white shapes over the visible page. It does not securely remove underlying text, images or other content, which may still be recovered or exposed. Do not use it to conceal confidential information.
