Latest updates and improvements to Papermark

v0.17.0

Visitor overview

New comprehensive visitor overview interface showing cumulative visit history across documents with detailed analytics breakdowns.

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.

v0.16.0

File-level granular permissions

Introducing Groups feature for granular file-level access control in datarooms, allowing specific permissions for different visitor groups.

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.

Link Presets

New Link Presets feature enables default settings for social media cards, meta tags, and custom domains for new links.

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.

Migrate to app.papermark.com

Successfully migrated to app.papermark.com domain while maintaining all existing document links, improving architecture flexibility and self-hosting capabilities.

Some may have noticed that the URL to their dashboard changed to app.papermark.com/... 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.

Bulk file uploads

New support for multiple file uploads with TUS protocol implementation, enabling resumable uploads and improved reliability.

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
