Document sharing
Upload PDFs and pitch decks, share secure view links, and track reads on Growth and Premium.
Document sharing is available on Growth and Premium. Upload PDF, Office
(DOCX, PPTX, XLSX), or images; share a stable https://litonl.com/view/{slug} link (optional
short alias https://lit.onl/v/{short}).
Upload and convert
Use the Documents dashboard to drag-and-drop or pick a file. Native PDFs are ready immediately; Office files
convert to a viewer PDF when LibreOffice is configured on the server (DOC_CONVERTER=libreoffice).
Per-file caps: 50 MB (Growth), 100 MB (Premium). Storage caps apply per workspace.
Share link and gates
Use Share on the Documents list or detail page for the view link, short alias, and gates in one place.
- Password — optional gate before the viewer loads.
- Email required — collect viewer email on unlock.
- Watermark — overlay viewer email on pages (Premium-friendly diligence).
- Link expiry — optional
expires_aton the document settings JSON. - Allow download —
allow_download(default true); hides download in the viewer when false. - Notifications —
notify_on_view: off, first view only, or every visit (email + in-app bell).
Moving from DocSend
- Upload PDF or Office files on Documents — post-upload opens Share so you can copy the link immediately.
- Match your old gates: require email, password, watermark, expiry, and download policy in Share or Settings.
- Replace DocSend room links with a data room (
/room/{slug}); add folders and documents in the room editor. - Use Activity on a document for visit log and time-on-page charts (Growth+ retention window applies).
- Re-upload new file versions on the same share link from Overview → New version.
Marketing overview: Document sharing & data rooms.
Read analytics
The public viewer sends heartbeats for time on page and logs visits with country and device type
(no raw IP in logs). The document detail page shows summary cards, a visit log, and charts. Workspace totals
appear on the Documents list. Retention follows your plan’s click-history window; older rows are pruned by docviewprune.
Data rooms
Data rooms bundle documents for investors: create a room, add folders, place documents, and share
one /room/{slug} URL. Room-level password/email gates apply to the landing page.
Public API
Viewer traffic uses /public/documents/… (meta, unlock, file, events). Internal CRUD is under /internal/v1/documents and /internal/v1/data-rooms (session cookie). See the internal
API catalog in the repo (docs/api-internal/endpoints.md) and REST API for links and OAuth.
