Overview

You have the option to apply watermarks to reinforce the protection of intellectual property and discourage unauthorized sharing of sensitive information. You can leverage the feature to apply watermarks or brandings to questionnaires and a wider range of document formats including images, text, and Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents.

• Applying watermarks to Trust Center questionnaires inherently extends to the attachments of the questionnaire on download.

• When downloading documents, the watermark is applied to a PDF version of the file, ensuring document integrity.

Previewing watermarks

The Enable Document Viewing toggle in the Watermark settings gives you more control over how watermarked documents are visible to viewers.

• Once enabled, viewers have the option to preview (open) watermarked version of the documents and download them, providing enhanced security for your sensitive information.

• If the option remains disabled, viewers will only be able to download the artifacts.
