Customizing Watermarks

Watermarks can be customized on the team level and the individual workspace level. When a team's watermark settings are edited, all watermarks across all workspaces in that team will inherit the customization. These customizations will apply to watermarks both in the web fileviewer and upon download.

By default, a workspace will have the team's watermark settings, until the watermark is customized on the individual workspace level. Once the watermark is customized on the workspace level, the individual workspace's watermark will be the default, even if the team watermarks are updated later.

How to Customize Your Workspace's Watermark Settings

1. Navigate to your Dashboard and select the desired workspace

2. Click the "Settings" page

3. Click the "Watermark Settings" tab

4. Make edits as desired to watermark characteristics such as Font size, Opacity (transparency), Rotation, Color, Vertical Position, Horizontal Position, and Watermark Elements. Selecting the "Workspace Name" watermark element will include the workspace's name associated with the watermarked file in question. "Custom Text" can include text, such as "CONFIDENTIAL," for example.

To add an additional watermark placement, select +Add Watermark. Make additional edits as necessary across the Top, Center, and Bottom watermarks, and click the green "Save Settings" button when finished.

Important Note: When the watermark is updated, only the following changes will show on Excel files: updates to custom text, user name, user email, IP address, current time and workspace name.

Any changes to color, opacity, watermark location/positioning, and additional watermarks (more than the 1 watermark in the center) will not apply to Excel files. This only applies for Excel and CSV files, as all changes will reflect on all other file types in the browser, including PDFs.
