Discuss confidentiality and evidentiary sufficiency together before submitting redacted material. Removing customer names may address one concern, but removing the information that explains the knowledge can leave an exhibit unable to support its purpose.
Label the fact each exhibit is meant to establish
Make an exhibit list describing the document, its date, its author and the relevant claim. For a training record, that might be the subject taught and the employee's participation; for a project example, it might be a responsibility the employee actually held. Have the authorized company contact approve disclosure and the reviewer assess whether the remaining material is understandable. Do not create fictional replacement examples for confidential events.
The material worth preserving is specific: qualification records for procedures developed in-house, revision histories that show who authored what and when, training material written internally, purchase and modification records for equipment adapted to a particular use, and job files linking the person to the work. Useful material includes authored or revised procedures, audit reports naming the applicant, investigation and corrective action records they owned, supplier approvals, training and authorisation registers, and a current delegation of authority.
