Watermarking can help deter unauthorized re-sharing of restricted information in your Box account. When watermarking is enabled, it places a semi-transparent overlay of the current viewer's email address or IP address (depending on whether the viewer is logged in or not), as well as time of access across the document's contents.  Watermarking is recommended, but it is not required.
