Step-by-step walkthrough
How dynamic watermarks work
Server-side rendering of viewer identity, IP, and timestamp on every page — the forensic deterrent that prevents leaks.
Configuring watermark content
Choose what to include in the watermark: viewer name, email, IP, timestamp, and any custom fields.
Watermark placement and visibility
Configure diagonal vs header/footer placement, opacity, font size, and rotation for readability without obscuring content.
Per-document and per-folder policies
Apply different watermark policies to different document types — sensitive materials get more prominent watermarks.
