Control what happens to a document after you send it

Recipients, devices, lifetime, watermarking and access — all decided by the sender, all changeable afterwards.

What it does

Control is the layer that ties the other capabilities together: who a document is for, how long it lives, whether it is locked to a device, and whether it is watermarked.

Why it exists

Security settings that can only be chosen before sending are not control — they are a guess. Real control means changing your mind after the document has gone.

How it works

1. Set the rules when sending

Recipients, expiry, device lock and watermarking.

2. Send

Each recipient receives their own controlled link.

3. Change the rules later

Tighten, extend, revoke or destroy at any point.

4. Everything is recorded

Each change is written to the document's history.

When to use it

Multi-party circulation

Different recipients need different levels of access.

Long negotiations

What is appropriate in week one is not appropriate in week ten.

Regulated material

Access must be demonstrably restricted.

External advisers

Access should follow the engagement, not outlive it.

An example

During a fundraise, a founder starts with open access for a shortlist, then narrows it to the lead investor once terms are agreed — without resending anything.

Questions

Can I change settings after sending?

Yes. That is the core idea behind FINIS.

Are recipients notified of changes?

Recipients see the effect the next time they open the document.

Is watermarking included?

Yes, documents can be watermarked in the secure viewer.

Capabilities and guides that work alongside this one.

Lock

The link works for the person you sent it to — and for nobody they forward it to.

Revoke

One click removes the document from everyone who has the link — instantly, permanently, and on the record.

Expire

Decide at send time how long the document should live. FINIS closes it on schedule, with nothing left for you to remember.

Track

Every open, every recipient, every timestamp — in one history you can show to someone else.

Send everything. Fear nothing.
