Configure a watermark
In Sitecore Content Hub, a default watermark is added for users who only have access to watermarked content. The format of this watermark is: username MM/DD/YY hh/mm +UTC AM/PM.
To configure Content Hub, you must either be a superuser or have the necessary permissions granted to you through user group policies.
You can edit the default watermark, or you can create and edit additional watermarks as needed. A watermark can include static text, dynamic text from variables, and an optional background image if required.
To preview an asset from its details page, you need to configure both a document watermark and an image watermark. This is because the preview functionality uses an image, but the Deep Zoom feature, which lets you zoom on an inline preview, uses a PDF.
For an example of how to configure watermark settings, see Set up watermark permissions.

-
On the menu bar, click Manage

On the Manage page, click Watermarks.
