## Answer

When you share a sample resume publicly, stamp SPECIMEN, SAMPLE, or COPY with the watermark tool below so it is harder to misuse. For real applications, export a clean copy without the sample stamp.

## Limits

- Watermark is visible deterrence — not encryption.
- Use Confidential Send when the file is sensitive.

## FAQ

### Should I watermark application resumes?

Usually no — portals want a clean file. Watermark portfolio samples only.

### Upload?

No.

### CONFIDENTIAL stamp?

Yes — use watermark text CONFIDENTIAL, or Confidential Send for a full pipeline.
