Why announcements leak
A price-sensitive announcement passes through lawyers, bankers, auditors and directors before release, and every extra copy is a chance for it to leak early.

Questions
Does the viewed-by list replace our insider list?
It shows exactly who has opened each draft, which helps keep your insider list accurate. Keep the list itself the way your policy requires.
Can directors forward the draft?
With View only they can't download it, so there's no file to forward.
Do advisers work on the same version?
Yes. Advisers edit the same document in the browser, so there's one draft rather than a chain of attachments.
What happens after release?
Access ends on the expiry date you set, and the drafts stay with the company.
Where are drafts stored?
DekkoCORE is hosted in-country, in Australia, the United States or Canada.
