How to See Who Has Viewed My Google Doc

You can see who has viewed your Google Document by using the Activity Dashboard. This can be accessed in the doc or from within Google Drive.


Step 1 - From within your Google Doc, click the 'Tools' then 'Activity Dashboard'.

Step 2 - It will show you a list of viewers and when they viewed the document.

To use this feature, it would need to have been enabled in the Admin panel by the administrator.
