FAQ(s)

Which team account roles in Document360 can access the Analytics section? Is it limited to Admins and Owners?

In Document360, Admins, Owners, and Contributors can access the Analytics section if thier content role is Editor or draft writer.

If you want to restrict team accounts from accessing the Analytics section, you can create a custom portal and content role and uncheck the "Analytics" permission. This will prevent specific users from accessing Analytics.

When creating a new team account or modifying an existing one, assign this custom content role to ensure users with this role can't access the Analytics section.

For more details on creating a custom content role, read the Roles and permissions article.

How can I find the size of a file I am trying to export?

Currently, Document360 does not display the file size before export. You can check the file size on your local device after downloading the file.
