Document Sharing & Tracking — FAQ
From secure document sharing and tracking to engagement analytics — here are the questions we're asked most often.
Can I see who opened my document and how long they read it?
Yes. DocBeacon shows who opened your document, when they accessed it, total reading time, and time spent on each page or section. You can also see repeat visits and identify high-intent readers based on engagement.
Can I prevent viewers from downloading or sharing my document?
Yes. When you share a document using a view-only link, viewers can only open it in the browser — they can't download or print it. You can also enable dynamic watermarks that show the viewer's name, email, and access time to discourage screenshots or unauthorized sharing.
Do you support password-protected or expiring document links?
Yes. You can require viewers to enter an access code and set custom expiration dates for each link. Once expired, the document becomes inaccessible even if someone has the original URL.
Does DocBeacon provide page-level or section-level engagement analytics and heatmaps?
Yes. Unlike tools that only show page views, DocBeacon provides section-level heatmaps. You can see which parts of each page readers focus on, where they scroll past, and exactly where attention drops.
Can I track engagement for individual contacts or recipients?
Yes. You can save clients, investors, or stakeholders as contacts and generate personalized share links. DocBeacon then tracks engagement per contact across every document they view — including time spent, visits, and sections they focused on.
How is DocBeacon different from Docsend or other document tracking tools?
DocBeacon provides the same secure sharing and tracking, but goes further with section-level engagement heatmaps, contact-based tracking, and dynamic watermarking. It also offers stronger analytics, simpler workflows, and more flexible pricing.
How does DocBeacon keep my documents secure?
All documents are encrypted in transit and at rest. You control access with passwords, link expiration, and view-only mode. Watermarking adds viewer identity to discourage leaks. DocBeacon is built for teams handling confidential proposals, contracts, and fundraising documents.
