Your document library

Your library is the main dashboard where you upload, organize, and track your documents. It shows a list of every PDF you own, with key metrics and actions at a glance.

Document list

Your documents appear in a table with the following columns:

• Document — the original filename, plus status indicators. A "Burned" badge appears when the document's view limit has been reached and the file is no longer accessible, and a "X of Y views used" line appears when a view limit is set
• Size — the file size
• Filed — when the document was uploaded
• Reads — the number of reading sessions recorded for the document
• Readers — the number of unique readers who have accessed it
• DLs — downloads. This count includes your own downloads of the document

On narrow screens the table collapses: size, upload date and reads move under the filename, and the remaining columns are hidden.

Next to each row are action buttons:

• Settings icon — configure and share the document
• Analytics icon — view detailed readership data
• Eye icon — preview the PDF
• Download icon — toggle whether viewers can download it. When disabled, the icon turns red
• Trash icon — delete the document

Activity overview

Above the document list are three cards showing your entire library's activity:

• Total Reads — the sum of all reading sessions across all documents
• Unique Readers — the total number of distinct readers who have opened any of your documents
• Downloads — the total downloads across all documents

Below the list, a "Recent activity" table shows the most recent reading sessions across the library, with the document, reader, source, location, time spent and date. Selecting a folder re-scopes all of this to that folder's documents.

View limits and self-destructing documents

A document's row shows progress toward its view limit (if set). The display reads "X of Y views used." When the limit is reached, the document burns—it becomes inaccessible to new viewers, and a "Burned" badge marks it in the list. The document's row and its readership data survive; only the link itself dies. A burned document can be brought back by replacing its content — see Dynamic links.

Bulk operations

Select multiple documents by checking their checkboxes. A sticky bar appears with bulk actions:

• Clear — deselect all
• Move to folder — file the selected documents into a folder, or into "Unfiled" (Basic and above)
• Move to trash — send all selected documents to the trash. On a free account the button reads Delete and the deletion is permanent

On the Trash tab the same bar offers Restore and Delete forever instead.

For more details, see Bulk operations.

Organizing with folders

On Basic and Pro accounts, a folder rail appears above the document list once you have at least one document. Folders let you group documents for easier navigation. Click a folder chip to show only its documents, or drag a document row onto a chip to file it there. An "All" chip shows everything and an "Unfiled" chip shows documents not assigned to any folder.

To create a folder, click "+ New folder" at the end of the rail. To rename or delete a folder, select its chip first — Rename and Delete links then appear beside the rail.

For more details, see Organizing with folders.

Active document limits

Your plan determines how many documents you can keep at once: 3 on Free, 100 on Basic, unlimited on Pro. See Plans and limits. The cap is enforced on upload, on claiming an anonymous upload, and on restoring from trash — if you are at your limit you must delete a document or upgrade first. Trashed and burned documents do not occupy a slot.

Trash and recovery

On Basic and Pro accounts, a "Trash" tab appears next to "My PDFs." Deleted documents move there first instead of being permanently removed. You can restore them within the window your plan allows (7 days for Basic, 30 days for Pro). Free accounts have no trash: a delete is immediate and permanent.

For more details, see Trash and recovery.

Who sees documents here

Only documents you own appear in your library. If you upload a PDF without signing in, it creates an unclaimed anonymous document—it remains shareable by link, but does not appear in a library because it has no owner yet. Claiming the document (by signing up or logging in from the same browser session) moves it into your library and unlocks owner features like settings, analytics, and folders.

For more details, see Anonymous uploads and claiming.
