Question 1

What does hiding document content from a recipient mean in QuoteCloud?

Accepted Answer

Hiding document content in QuoteCloud lets the document author control which sections of a single proposal or quote each recipient can see. Instead of creating multiple files, you present tailored views from one source document so internal reviewers, procurement teams, and customers only see the content intended for them.This is especially useful when using QuoteCloud as sales quoting software or sales proposal software because it keeps confidential notes, pricing, and approvals separated while maintaining a single, consistent document record.

Question 2

Which parts of a document can be hidden in QuoteCloud?

Accepted Answer

Visibility is managed at the section level. You can hide content blocks such as internal notes, pricing lines, authorization fields, or any content block created in the document editor.That granularity makes QuoteCloud strong quote software and proposal software for teams that need precise control over what different stakeholders see.

Question 3

How do I hide content from a recipient — are there step-by-step instructions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The general steps are: 1) Open the document in the QuoteCloud document editor, 2) Select the section or content block to restrict, 3) Open that section’s visibility or permissions settings, 4) Choose the recipient(s) or recipient groups to hide the section from, and 5) Save and use the preview function to confirm the recipient view.The QuoteCloud user guide contains full UI screenshots and detailed, context-specific instructions if you need more help.

Question 4

Will hidden content remain hidden when the document is shared, printed, or signed?

Accepted Answer

Hidden sections remain hidden from the recipient views generated by QuoteCloud, including the preview and signing flows: recipients only see the content the author has permitted for them.Note that internal users or anyone with editor permissions can see and print the full document. Also, if a recipient downloads or prints a copy they already opened, that local copy will reflect whatever was visible at the time they accessed it.

Question 5

Who can hide or change visibility for sections — do I need a specific role?

Accepted Answer

Visibility is controlled by the document author and by users who have edit permissions for that document. If you can edit the document in the QuoteCloud editor you can manage section-level visibility settings.For organisations, assign edit permissions to trusted team members so only authorized staff can hide or reveal sensitive blocks of content.

Question 6

When should I use hidden content in a document?

Accepted Answer

Use hidden content when you need one source document to serve multiple audiences. Common scenarios include keeping internal pricing or margin notes private, showing different price options to different customers, concealing internal approvals or legal commentary from external recipients, or tailoring proposals for separate stakeholders (e.g., procurement vs. executive reviewers).This approach reduces document duplication and is ideal for teams using QuoteCloud as sales quoting software or sales proposal software who need consistent, auditable documents with tailored recipient views.

Question 7

How can I preview what a recipient will see before I send the document?

Accepted Answer

After setting visibility on a section, use the editor’s preview function to simulate specific recipient views. Select the recipient or recipient group you want to preview and confirm that hidden blocks are not visible to them.Always preview before sending to ensure pricing, notes, and authorizations appear exactly as intended for each audience.

Question 8

Can I change visibility after I’ve sent the document and will recipients see the change?

Accepted Answer

Yes — edit the source document in the QuoteCloud editor and update the section visibility, then save. Recipients who open the document after the change will see the updated, tailored view.However, recipients who already downloaded, printed, or archived an earlier copy will retain whatever content was visible at the time they accessed the file. If you need recipients to view the new version, consider re-sending or notifying them to re-open the document.
