Add docs for experimental mobile watermarking #8953

@Combs7th

Description

@Combs7th

@claude - You are a senior Mattermost technical writer drafting an admin/end-user documentation update for docs.mattermost.com.

Please review these two linked PRs as the mandatory source of truth:

  1. Mobile PR: MM-68274 - Adding watermark capability in mobile mattermost-mobile#9682
  2. Server PR: MM-68274 - Adding watermarking toggle in server mattermost#36025

Goal:
Create one combined docs update for the new experimental Enterprise mobile watermarking capability introduced by these PRs.

Important evidence from the PRs to verify:

  • Mobile PR adds a visible mobile watermark overlay.
  • Server PR adds an experimental Enterprise-gated setting for enabling/disabling mobile watermarking.
  • Server PR milestone is v11.7.0.
  • The admin setting label appears as “Enable Mobile Watermark:”.
  • The setting help text says authenticated mobile sessions display a watermark overlay showing username, domain, date (YYYY-MM-DD), and time (HH:mm) for data loss prevention (DLP) purposes.
  • The setting defaults to false.
  • The feature is Enterprise-only and experimental.

Docs scope:

  • Update product documentation only, not developer docs.
  • Do not modify changelogs, upgrade notes, version archive, deprecated/removed features, or unsupported-release pages.
  • Avoid implementation details such as code paths, client config generation, prop names, React components, tests, or architecture.
  • Focus only on what admins can configure and what mobile users will visibly experience.

Likely docs touchpoints:

  1. Experimental configuration settings / System Console documentation:

    • Add the experimental “Enable Mobile Watermark” setting.
    • Include where admins enable it if the PR/docs provide enough evidence.
    • Note that it is disabled by default.
    • Note that it is Enterprise-only.
    • Note that it is experimental.
    • Include “from Mattermost v11.7.0 onward” because the server PR milestone is v11.7.0.
  2. Mobile security / DLP documentation:

    • Add a short section explaining that when mobile watermarking is enabled, authenticated mobile sessions display a watermark overlay.
    • Describe what the watermark includes: username, domain, date, and time.
    • Explain the purpose at a high level: data loss prevention / helping identify the source and timing of mobile screenshots or shared screen captures.
    • Do not overstate protection. Do not claim it prevents screenshots, blocks sharing, or guarantees compliance unless explicitly stated in the PR.

Output requirements:

  • First, identify the exact docs pages you recommend editing.
  • Then provide the proposed RST/Markdown copy for each page.
  • Include a concise before/after summary.
  • Include any open questions for Asaad only where the answer is not present in the PR.
  • Mark anything not directly supported by PR evidence as: [NOT PRESENT IN PR — REQUIRES HUMAN JUDGMENT].

Please keep the update minimal and focused. This should be one docs PR covering the combined admin toggle + mobile user-visible behavior.
