This process is often necessary to rectify documents, artwork, or other materials where mistakes have been made. Examples of its application include correcting typing errors on a printed document or removing unwanted marks from a drawing.

Historically, this has been accomplished through various mechanical and chemical methods, each designed to lift or dissolve the concealing agent without damaging the underlying surface. Mastering effective strategies is a valuable skill for maintaining clarity and accuracy in record-keeping and creative endeavors.
