4.6.1 About Unsealing Sealed Documents

If you have sufficient rights, you can unseal a sealed document (that is, you can make an unsealed copy of a sealed document). The unsealed document can then be used without restrictions. The rights to do this are usually given only for relatively non-sensitive documents.
