Share, protect and track a document

Going live, links and PDFs, passwords and expiry, sending by email, and what Insights tells you.

Go live

  1. 1
    Open the document and choose Share in the top bar. Until it is live, nobody outside the workspace can see it.
  2. 2
    Choose Go live. Veew checks the document first (Before you publish lists any unfilled variable or empty section) and then creates the private link. Copy link puts it on your clipboard; Open the live link shows what the buyer sees.
  3. 3
    Keep editing freely afterwards. Nothing reaches the reader until you choose Update link; the strip in the Share dialog counts the changes since you published.
  4. 4
    To take a link offline, choose Change status → Set to draft in the Share dialog, or Archive from the document's row menu under Documents.

Track

Every open is recorded. You are emailed when a buyer opens it (once per visit, at most every 30 minutes per document), when they accept, and when they ask a question; adjust each under Profile → Notifications.

On Starter and Team, Insights in the editor's top bar (or the Insights icon on the document's row) shows opens, unique visitors, average time per visit, PDF downloads and when it was last opened. It also has opens by day, who and where (readers, forwards to new people, countries and devices), time spent on each section, buyer questions, what they chose, who it was sent to, and recent activity. Draft a follow-up at the top writes the email from all of it. On Free, the page explains the upgrade and still shows buyer questions so you can answer them.

A buyer who accepts fills in their name, work email and a note; you are told, and they get a confirmation. A buyer who opens an expired link can ask for a new one, and that request reaches you.
