What does it do?
Access questions (called link fields in the app) add your own questions to the screen a visitor sees before a link opens. The visitor answers them once, and you see the answers next to that visitor's views.
Who is it for?
Anyone who needs context on who is reading: a founder asking which fund an investor is with, a sell-side advisor asking a buyer's role, or a team qualifying inbound readers before sharing a deck.
How does it work?
- Open a link's settings.
- Add one or more questions under access questions.
- Visitors answer before the content opens, after any email verification or NDA step you have turned on.
Which plans include it?
Access questions are listed as a Data Room plan feature and above in the permission settings docs. See pricing.
How does it compare?
Many document-sharing tools capture only an email address before access. Access questions add structured answers to that step, so qualification happens at the moment of viewing instead of in a follow-up email.

Can Peony ask visitors questions before they open a data room?
Yes. On the Data Room plan and above, you can add custom access questions to a link, and visitors answer them before the content opens. Peony added access questions on November 21, 2025.
