How to Download and Print Documents

Learn about the different ways to download, print, and access documents in Govenda, including watermarked downloads and board books.

Downloading a document

1. Open the document in the Govenda viewer.
2. Look for the Download button in the toolbar.
3. Choose the download format: 
   • PDF — the standard viewing format
   • Original format — the file in its original format (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) if native document storage is enabled for your organization

Watermarked downloads

If your organization has watermarking enabled, downloaded documents will include a watermark (such as "CONFIDENTIAL" or your name) on each page. This is a security feature controlled by your administrator.

Printing a document

1. Open the document in the viewer.
2. Click the Print button in the toolbar.
3. Your browser's print dialog will open.

Downloading a board book

Board books compile all meeting agenda documents into a single PDF.

1. Open the meeting.
2. Go to the Agenda tab.
3. Look for the Create PDF option.
4. Choose Agenda Only, Board Book Only, or Full Board Book (agenda + all documents).
5. The board book will begin generating. Once the document loads, click the download button in the toolbar.

Permissions

Your ability to download and print documents depends on settings configured by your administrator:

• Download Document — must be enabled
• Print Document — must be enabled

If you don't see download or print buttons, your administrator has disabled these for your account or organization. Contact your administrator to request access.
