Watermarks, downloads and screenshots
How Galley keeps a copy traceable to the person who made it.
- What is the watermark?Every page an investor views carries their name, email, and the date and time, repeated across the page.
- Do downloaded files carry the watermark?Downloaded PDFs do. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images, videos and Markdown download as the original file, without a watermark (the download is still recorded).
- What can an investor with view-only access do?Read in the viewer, search inside the document and ask about it.
- Can Galley stop screenshots?It can make them harder. With Screenshot deterrence on (an Owner switches it on under What investors see on Documents; it starts off), view-only documents are covered while the investor's window isn't active or their mouse is off the document, and printing is blocked.
- Can investors print?Yes, the watermarked pages, unless Screenshot deterrence is on and the document is view only.
