Your internal documentation holds immense value - whether it’s SOPs, training materials, or company playbooks. Copy Protection adds an extra layer of control, helping you protect that content from being easily copied or misused.
What is Copy Protection?
Copy Protection prevents text from being highlighted and copied in Reader mode. It’s a helpful way to maintain control over sensitive or proprietary information, ensuring your team can access the knowledge they need - without making it easy to lift and share externally.
While it deters casual copying, Copy Protection does not prevent screenshots or advanced duplication methods.

Apply to Individual Documents
You can also enable Copy Protection for specific documents:

Click Settings in the top-right corner
Toggle on Copy Protection for that document only
You can disable Copy Protection at any time using the same steps.
