Require an email before someone views your document
An email gate asks visitors to confirm who they are before the document opens. Every visit is then tied to a real person, so your analytics and alerts name names.

2. Turn on “Require email to view”
Optionally verify the address with a one-time code — recommended for data rooms.
Verify with a code
With verification on, visitors receive a 6-digit code by email and must enter it before viewing. This stops people typing someone else’s address.
FAQ
Do visitors need a Dozzier account?
No. They enter their email once per link and can view straight away.
Can I see who forwarded the link?
Yes — a new email on the same link shows up as a separate visitor, so forwards are easy to spot.
