Questions about DocLoq
The practical details about content, access, protection, and getting started.
Content
Does our content stay in our tenant?
Yes. Shared documents remain stored in your Microsoft 365 tenant, using a dedicated SharePoint Embedded workspace. DocLoq can process content for viewing and protection. An allowed download delivers a copy to the recipient. See the data boundary.
Does DocLoq move our source documents?
Your source documents remain in Microsoft 365. The shared document set is held in the DocLoq sharing workspace inside your tenant. Do not treat that workspace as the original source location.
Access & protection
Do external recipients need guest accounts?
Not for the OTP access path. Recipients can verify by email for everyday viewing and download requests. Collaboration and some federated access scenarios use guests where required. See the identity model.
Can recipients view, download, and collaborate?
DocLoq supports those sharing outcomes. The available options depend on the share and your organisation’s policies. Compare the options.
What extra protection does DocLoq add?
Recipient watermarking, controlled viewing, download restrictions, supported protected downloads, expiry, and access revocation. The applicable controls depend on the sharing mode and document support. See the protection options.
Can a recipient still photograph the screen?
Yes. A browser cannot prevent someone from using a camera. A visible recipient watermark makes the content attributable and discourages redistribution.
What happens when access is removed?
The recipient loses future access through DocLoq. An original file already downloaded cannot be retrieved. Content already displayed or captured cannot be recalled.
Governance
Where do we review sharing activity?
In DocLoq’s audit trail, grouped around its shares. That brings the relevant sharing history together while Microsoft 365 continues to retain its own platform logs. Review audit.
Does DocLoq govern sharing outside DocLoq?
The workflow and audit described here apply to sharing managed through DocLoq. Native Microsoft 365 sharing remains subject to your Microsoft 365 configuration and policies.
Who sets the sharing rules?
Administrators define the available sharing options and policy boundaries. Share owners operate within them. Review policy control.
How does DocLoq work with Purview?
The setup needs to account for your existing labels and data policies. We review their behaviour across the relevant sharing and protection paths during evaluation.
