50+ document management features

A document library that works the way you do

Present your policies, reports, forms and resources in a clear, searchable library - so visitors find the right document in seconds. Here’s everything it can do.

Easy to find

Visitors search, filter and sort to the exact document in seconds - in a clear table, grid or folder view.

Manage at scale

Add documents one at a time, in bulk, or by CSV. Organize huge libraries by folder, category and metadata.

Control access

Keep some documents public and lock others to a password, user role, or individual - or capture a lead first.

Find anything

Visitors find the right file in seconds

Every document library is instantly searchable, filterable and sortable - so people stop scrolling a long page and go straight to what they need.

  • AJAX live search as you type
  • Filter dropdowns by category, tag or date
  • Click any column to sort, with multiple sort options
  • Create multiple libraries, each listing different documents

Control access

Decide exactly who sees what

Keep public documents open to everyone and lock the rest down with built-in password protection - or capture an email address before download.

  • Password-protect an entire library, a category, or individual documents
  • Or embed the library in your private site or intranet to inherit its access controls
  • Hide protected documents, or show them but block the download
  • Lead capture: require an email address before download
