Watermarking in download orders

Sitecore Content Hub applies watermarks to a download order based on user permissions and the configuration of the watermark. The following table describes the flow of a download order, including how watermarks are applied to it.

1You select a mix of assets and click Download.
2Sitecore Content Hub verifies that you have the permissions needed to download the rendition. If you do, Content Hub verifies whether the rendition requires a watermark.
3If no watermark is required, the rendition is downloaded. If a watermark is required, Content Hub applies the watermark configured on the selected rendition or, if none exists, logs an error in the log file.

The following table summarizes how permissions, enabling a watermark, and the watermark configuration affect download orders.
