FAQ
Can you monitor private or login-only pages?
No. Page History only tracks public pages.
What is saved by default?
Saved versions, change summaries, and detection timestamps for tracked pages.
Are screenshot and PDF captures always on?
No. Screenshot and PDF capture are available on the Scale plan and can be turned on per tracked page.
Can we start with a small set of pages?
Yes. Teams often start with high-risk pages, then expand the list of tracked pages.
What check frequencies are available for tracked pages?
Choose checks every 12, 24, 48, or 72 hours, or every 7 days.
Is this meant to replace an archive or records tool?
No. It gives you a clear dated record of page changes, but it is not a formal archive or records tool.
How do we manage tracked pages and delivery settings?
Use your secure dashboard to update tracked pages, recipients, check timing, capture settings, and downloads.
