Check Adobe's Removed Features Documentation
Determine if the viewer tracking feature for your specific file-sharing workflow has been officially deprecated by Adobe.
Adobe frequently updates its Document Cloud services to streamline performance and security. During these updates, some older file-sharing workflows and tracking capabilities are phased out.
Open your web browser and navigate to the official Adobe Help website, then search for 'Document Cloud removed features'.
Look through the list of deprecated features to confirm if viewer and review tracking is no longer supported for standard shared links.
If the feature is removed, you may need to upgrade to enterprise services or switch to alternative cloud collaboration platforms that still offer detailed document activity tracking.
