Frequently Asked Questions
DocSend gives M&A advisors a secure, centralized data room to manage deal flow from CIM distribution through final due diligence. Share confidential documents with buyers, lenders, and legal teams all in one Space, without the risk of leaks or version confusion across email.
You stay in control at every stage of the deal. Set permissions by buyer group, individual, or link, granting or restricting access to specific documents or folders as the process progresses. NDA-gating, download controls, access expiry, and watermarking are all built in. Remove a buyer's access instantly if they exit the process.
Real-time engagement data shows you who viewed your data room, when they visited, and how long they spent on each document. Engagement heatmaps highlight where buyer interest is highest, so you can prioritize outreach and focus on the deals most likely to close.
Your deal room can be live in minutes:
Create a secure, branded Space
Upload and organize your CIM, financials, and diligence materials

Track engagement from the moment the first buyer logs in
