Stamp annotations in the DocLink Document Viewer add permanent annotations to documents. Rubber Stamps are used exactly like you would use a 'Received' or 'Paid' date stamp or any other kind of generic stamp on a business document. Access to standard stamps is controlled through the Stamp permission

The button will be grayed out and unavailable if you do not have the authorization to use stamps.

Unlike other annotations, stamps cannot be deleted or hidden once they have been 'burned' onto documents.
