## How to add suffix filename java when saving a document?
`Redactor` is the main class in GroupDocs.Redaction that loads a document and applies redaction operations.
`setAddSuffix` is a method of `SaveOptions` that enables automatic suffix addition to the output file name.

Load your `Redactor` instance, apply desired redactions, then call `save()` with `SaveOptions` where `setAddSuffix(true)` is enabled. This single configuration automatically appends “_redacted” (or the default suffix) to the file name, eliminating manual renaming and reducing human error. The operation completes in O(n) time relative to document size and works for all supported formats.

## groupdocs maven dependency Overview
The **groupdocs maven dependency** brings the entire Redaction SDK into your project with a single `<dependency>` entry. It handles transitive dependencies, keeps libraries up‑to‑date, and simplifies build automation. By declaring the dependency in `pom.xml`, you avoid manual JAR management and ensure compatibility with the latest security patches.

## Why Adding a Suffix Matters
Adding a suffix provides immediate visual confirmation that a document has been processed, which is essential for audit trails, automated workflows, and regulatory compliance across industries.

- **Auditability:** Teams can instantly spot which files are safe to distribute.
- **Automation:** Scripts can filter files by suffix, preventing accidental processing of original documents.
- **Compliance:** Many regulations require clear labeling of sanitized documents.

## Practical Applications
Explore these real‑world use cases:

1. **Legal Document Redaction:** Secure contracts before client sharing.
2. **Medical Record Handling:** Protect patient identifiers.
3. **Financial Reporting:** Keep sensitive numbers confidential.
4. **CRM Integration:** Automatically redact customer data before export.
5. **Collaboration Tools:** Ensure shared drafts never expose hidden comments.
