Redaction feature doesn't handle graphics currently, but yes it can be
exploited to also redact graphics by using a macro.

If the content to be redacted has only graphics, a macro can do it with or
without the redaction feature. If the content also has text elements, then a
macro + redaction feature would be a nice combo.

That way, you can keep the original content, and share the redacted/anonymized
content only.

(Technical tip for a macro writer: go through all shapes/images, and place a
rectangle on top of them with the exact same size & position, and name each
rectangle as "RectangleRedactionShape", and leave the rest to the redaction
feature)
