Frequently Asked Questions

Is a ribbon badge legally significant?

No. It signals status visually but creates no legal effect — a document marked CONFIDENTIAL here is not formally privileged by the stamp alone.

Which colour should I use?

Red reads as confidential or restricted, grey as draft, blue as internal. Match whatever convention already exists in your organisation.

Will it cover content in the corner?

A ribbon necessarily overlaps the corner area. Check that no text or logo sits there, and reduce the width if it does.

Can I place it in a different corner?

The ribbon is placed in the top-right corner by default. Adjust the size so it clears any content you need to keep visible.

Can different pages carry different status badges?

Yes, by applying the ribbon to specific pages in separate runs — useful for marking a draft section inside an otherwise final document.
