Watermarks provide a layer of security by visibly identifying the origin and status of documents, deterring unauthorized distribution or duplication. They also reinforce branding and professionalism, enhancing the credibility of shared materials. Additionally, watermarks can aid in tracking and monitoring document access and usage, bolstering accountability and compliance efforts.
Watermarks are enabled by default in all newly created project data rooms when:
Viewing documents online
Printing
Downloading PDF or encrypted files
To adjust Watermarks settings, click Settings in the left panel and select Project.
Here you will find the Watermarks tab where you can adjust the following watermark settings for your project:
Actions with documents when the watermark should be displayed. We recommend keeping all options applied to ensure the additional security of your documents.
User details which should be included in the watermark when they access documents. You can also add any custom text in addition or instead of default options.
The appearance of the watermark: color, opacity, and position.
On the right side, you can preview how your watermark will look with the selected settings.
💡 Keep in mind that the time on the watermarks is displayed according to the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) regardless of the user's time zone set in their personal settings. This is done for security reasons and ease of tracking who and when viewed, printed, or downloaded the document, especially if their time zone changes and/or differs from the administrator's time zone.
