Watermark templates

The Watermark Template list has three built-in choices:

  • Review Copy: REVIEW COPY - {{name}} - {{email}}
  • ARC: ARC - {{name}} - {{email}}
  • Proof: PROOF - {{name}} - {{email}}

To write your own wording:

  1. Choose Customโ€ฆ in Watermark Template.
  2. Type your text. Use {{name}} and {{email}} where the reader's details should go.
  3. To reuse it, choose โ”€โ”€ Save current as template โ”€โ”€ and give it a name. It appears under My Templates next time.

To rename or delete your own templates, click Manage Templates.

Opacity

Opacity goes from 10% to 100%. The default is 30%. Above 50%, you'll see a warning, because a strong stamp can get in the way of reading.

Colour

Choose from Slate, Gray, Red, Green, Blue and Teal. The default is Gray.

Checking the result

The Preview shows the stamp with your settings. In batch mode, click a recipient in the list to preview their copy.

If every file you've chosen is an EPUB, the Opacity and Color settings are hidden.
