Changelog

We made it easier for you to invite additional team members. Add the folks on your team to help manage documents, data rooms and analytics.

Generate your data room index file and share it with stakeholder for easier navigation in the bigger data room.

Now custom branding set in the main settings will be applied to all your documents and data rooms. We call it global branding. You can still customize branding if you want on the particular data room separately and of course set up your custom domain.

Customize the information you require from visitors before they access your documents. This powerful new feature allows you to:

• Add custom form fields to your access screens
• Collect specific information relevant to your use case
• Track and analyze custom field data in your analytics dashboard
• Export custom field data alongside other visitor information
• Use custom fields to better understand and segment your audience

With the new data room layout, we are immersing you into your data room. The navigation overhaul makes it easy to find

• the data room content,
• permissions (such as links and groups),
• visitor analytics in chronological order with export functionality,
• custom data room branding, and
• settings

We're excited to announce support for video files. Now you can upload and share video content alongside your documents in both individual shares and data rooms. The video player comes with built-in controls and supports various video formats. Just like with documents, you'll get detailed analytics on how your videos are being consumed, including:

• View counts and engagement metrics
• Secure, controlled access with the same permission system
• Support for various video formats
• Analytics integration with the rest of your content

Document analytics can get cluttered fast, especially if you are testing your links or there's an outlier visit that skews the combined analytics. We added the ability to archive individual views, so that not one view ruins your overall statistics.

We made it easier to find the right document in your team account. You can search across all document by document name. Additionally, you can sort all documents by

• name
• upload date
• recently viewed
• number of views
• number of links

The best thing: it's part of the browser history, so you can use the browser back button to navigate between searches or share the search result page with a team member.

Whether you are sharing a data room or individual documents, your documents are getting a lot of attention. We made it easier for you to see all your visitors and what documents they visited in one simple interface.

For every visitors that viewed your document, we add up the cumulative visit history. We break down the visitors by

• document name
• last viewed timestamp
• total time spent
• number of visits

In a future update, we plan to extend the visitor analytics overview with more details for each document, such as a cumulative page-by-page graph.

Datarooms can get really large and sometimes you may want to grant access to a couple of documents and folders in the dataroom to a particular group of visitors (e.g. lawyers or new investors).

With Groups, we are introducing file-level granular permissions:

1. Create a new group
2. Add members to the group
3. Define what folders or documents they are allowed to view or download.

Adding default social media cards or meta tag titles is now possible with Link Presets. This lays the foundation for creating different presets for fundraising, internal communications, sales and more ✨

You can also add a custom domain as a default domain for new links.

In a future update, we will add more link options to the presets and let teams manage multiple presets.

While we have been supporting PDF and sheet-based files like Microsoft Excel since the beginning, we are happy to announce support for new formats like Powerpoint and Word documents.

Now, Papermark supports the following file types:

• .pdf
• .ppt, .pptx, .odp
• .doc, .docx, .odt
• .xls, .xlsx, .csv, .ods

Watermarks are convenient way to protecting your documents on top of the access controls. You can customize the watermark on a per-link basis.

Watermark settings include:

• static text
• dynamic variables (email, date, time, ip address)
• text options (rotation, colour, opacity, font size)
• layout position (single or repeated))
• scales with zoom
• persists when download is allowed

Managing documents just got even easier! We added drag-and-drop support for documents to move them between folders. You can drag a single document or select multiple documents to move them in bulk.

In addition, we also added the first bulk actions:

• move many documents to a (sub)folder
• delete many documents

We added additional information about visits to your documents. In the details view you can see:

• device type, browser and operating system
• document version number
• thumbnail of each document page

We added the ability to render GIFs in presentations. You can read more about it here.

Some may have noticed that the URL to their dashboard changed to app.papermark.io/... We migrated earlier this month without a hitch, while keeping all links to documents unchanged. The new architecture gives us more flexibility and makes the open-source project easier to self-host.

With drag-and-drop, we also enabled the option to sort the document index in datarooms. If you have an executive summary that you want visitors to see first, simply drag it above other items to change the rank in the actual dataroom.

Preview a new logo and your brand colors before committing to a new look.

Setting up a datarooms with dozens (and sometimes hundreds) of documents is hard work. It shouldn't be. We are excited to make the experience of uploading many files at once easy and practically seamless.

Papermark implements the TUS protocol to enable multiple and resumable uploads. TUS stands for The Upload Server and is an open protocol for supporting resumable uploads. The protocol allows the upload process to be resumed from where it left off, even if the network crashes and there are other interruptions.

Just drag your files into your dataroom or documents folder to start the upload. Files will uploaded to the selected folder.

Future improvements:

• upload entire folders
• pause uploads
• and more
