Embedding the link

Put the permanent link and QR in your document before sending it.

What to embed

After you anchor a document, Obsol shows a footer preview with:

  • the permanent link — getobsol.com/v/your-document
  • a QR code pointing to the same link
  • the anchored version and time

Add the link and QR to the document itself, typically in the footer of every page or on the last page.

  1. Choose the document id (for example jane-doe-cv). It becomes the permanent link and should not change.
  2. Add the link and QR to the document.
  3. Export the final file.
  4. Anchor that exact file — any change after anchoring creates a different fingerprint.

Updating later

Edit the document, keep the same link and QR, export, and anchor the new file under the same id. Copies of the previous version will report SUPERSEDED and point to the new one.

Verifying a copy

CURRENT, SUPERSEDED, UNRECOGNIZED — what each verdict means.
