11 months agoHey @Auntie Di, thanks for the added info!
Is it possible that this is a browser-specific issue, since you're using our website to edit your content?
If you check your events page, and version history of the file do you see the changes there?

I can access the Events Page and events are only showing me Added or Deleted. If I open the document from the Events page it is showing "Controlled Copy" correctly on every page.
I would say that the majority of our uploads are edited prior to being uploaded to Dropbox. Most often we add the text box prior to uploading. With the last document I made sure that I uploaded the pdf then added the text with Dropbox but many, many others I have edited prior to uploading. We utilize Microsoft Edge.
What is making this difficult to answer is that the "Controlled Copy" on the last page "holds" for a while then one day it is just gone. Recently I went through every document for a second time and added "Controlled Copy" to every page where it had disappeared. Now I am waiting to see when they will disappear again.
