Get started with FeatPaper

New to FeatPaper? This page is all you need. Create an account, log in, land in your space, then follow the flow end to end — upload your first PDF and walk away with a share link.

What you can do here

• See the whole path in one place — sign-up through your first upload to a share link.
• Onboard new teammates fast — walk them through sign-up, login, and upload, in that order.
• Get the sidebar down early — learn which menu opens which screen before you start clicking.
• Compare access by role — see what admins and members can each reach, side by side.

What is FeatPaper?

FeatPaper is a document sharing and engagement analytics SaaS. Share PDFs as links, then see who opened which page, and when.

• Upload a document and create the links that fit each purpose.
• Track how viewers behave — pages, dwell time, and return visits.
• Capture contacts with a lead form and read interest levels from AI insights.
• Manage everything with your team inside a shared space.

This guide follows the flow: sign up → log in → tour Home → upload your first document. To see how the product fits together first, read How FeatPaper works.

Sign up and log in

Start with an email and password, or a Google account.

1. Sign up and log in

Open FeatPaper

Head to featpaper.com in your browser.

Choose how to log in

Enter your email and password to log in, or click Continue with Google to sign up and log in at once. No account yet? Use the Sign up link on the login screen.

Create a space

On your first login, you create a space. A space is where a team or project keeps its documents together.

Got an invite link from a teammate? Use it to join their existing space right away.

A new account does not start empty. On your first visit you receive six sample documents — five inside two folders and one outside them — along with sample engagement records. That way the Home KPIs, viewers, contacts, and referrers look populated from the start. Clear them with Delete sample docs in the header; your own uploads stay. Sample documents do not count against your monthly upload limit and cannot be updated with a new version.

---

2. Tour Home and the sidebar

Log in and you do not land on a folder list. You land on Home, a screen that sums up your whole space with KPIs. The left sidebar gets you to every feature.

Home (the KPI overview) — the first screen after login — and the full sidebar layout

For a full walkthrough of Home’s KPIs, documents, contacts, referrers, and notifications, see Tour the Home screen.

How the sidebar is laid out

Top to bottom, the main menus run Space → My Documents → Data rooms → AI Analytics → Members → Domain. Bookmarks sits below them, and a pinned area at the very bottom holds Settings → Upgrade → Guide → Sales Contact. Every menu stays visible no matter your role or plan. Only what happens when you click changes with your role and plan.

Area	Menu	What it is
Top-left	Workspace switcher	Shows your current space and plan, such as Starter. Opens Space Information or switches to another space. Admins also get an Invite Members button here.
Top icons	Search · Guide · Language	Icon buttons at the top of the screen, not sidebar items. Search finds folders and documents — click it or press ⌘K (Mac) / Ctrl K (Windows) — with the Guide and Language buttons alongside.
Main	Space	Opens the space KPI overview, the first screen after login.
Main	My Documents	Manage uploaded documents by folder.
Main	Data rooms	Pick links from several documents and publish them together as one page.
Main	AI Analytics	Ask AI about your space’s engagement data in plain language.
Main	Members	Opens the member list and invite screen (Settings > Member Management).
Main	Domain	Opens the custom domain screen (Settings > Custom Domain). Admin only.
Below main	Switch dashboard	Appears only for accounts still on the old dashboard (1.0). The switch is permanent — see What’s new in Dashboard 2.0.
Bookmarks	Bookmarks	Pin your go-to folders and documents — up to 6 shown, with the rest behind an expand control.
Pinned bottom	Settings	The unified settings screen for account, space, permissions, and billing.
Pinned bottom	Upgrade	Opens the plan-selection screen.
Pinned bottom	Guide / Sales Contact	Opens this user guide and the sales inquiry page.

The full sidebar layout — main menus and bottom menus

The old sidebar’s Space list item became the workspace switcher in the top-left, and Search moved to a top-of-screen icon (⌘K). The old Library (a gallery of public folders) has been replaced by Data rooms. Members and Domain are shortcuts into the matching tabs inside Settings, not separate screens.

How menus open — role and plan gating

Every menu stays in the sidebar at all times, with no Pro-style badges attached. FeatPaper checks your role and plan when you click an item.

• The role gate comes before the plan gate. Click an admin-only menu, such as Domain, as a member and you see an admin-access notice first, not a plan prompt.
• Clear the role check but click a feature your current plan does not include, and an upgrade screen tailored to that feature opens.
• If an admin has turned a feature off for the space, you see a notice asking you to contact them, with no upgrade button.

Feature	Plan required
Custom domain	Enterprise
Member invites · Notion, Google Sheets, and Zapier integrations · external form integration	Business and above
PDF download control · viewing period · logo (branding) · data export (CSV)	Pro and above
AI Analytics (conversational queries)	Pro and above
Lead form customization · document version history · AI search optimization	All plans, Starter included

What each role can access

Among the main menus, Space · My Documents · Data rooms · AI Analytics · Members look the same and are clickable for admins and members alike. Domain shows in the sidebar too, but it is admin only — click it as a member and nothing navigates. The tabs inside Settings also differ by role.

Admin

Reaches every main menu, Domain included, and every Settings tab: Account Settings, Communication Settings, Notifications, Connections, Space Information, Member Management, Custom Domain, Logo Settings, Billing & Plans, and Usage.

Member

Can use Space, My Documents, Data rooms, AI Analytics, and Members. The Domain menu shows but returns an admin-access notice on click. In Settings, members get Account Settings, Communication Settings, Notifications, Connections, and Member Management. Space Information, Custom Domain, Logo Settings, Billing & Plans, and Usage stay admin only.

Settings tab	Admin	Member	Note
Account Settings	✅	✅	Account deletion also happens here
Communication Settings	✅	✅
Notifications	✅	✅	Alert audience, minimum interest level, repeat cooldown
Connections	✅	✅	Slack and Notion account connections
Space Information	✅	❌
Member Management	✅	✅
Custom Domain	✅	❌	Enterprise plan only
Logo Settings	✅	❌	Pro and above
Billing & Plans	✅	❌	Plan, seats, and invoices
Usage	✅	❌	This cycle’s usage and your plan limits (formerly “Credit usage”)

Open an admin-only tab by URL as a member and the screen does not bounce you away. An Admin-only page card appears in place of the content.

Use the workspace switcher to move between the spaces you belong to. There is currently no button to create a new space on screen.

3. Upload your first document

Create a folder

Go to My Documents in the sidebar, click the New Folder icon (a folder with a +) in the list toolbar, and type a folder name. The File Upload icon to its left is for uploading files.

New folder dialog — enter a folder name

Folders let you organize documents by project or client.

Upload a document

Open the folder, then upload a PDF with the File Upload icon in the toolbar. If the folder is empty, drag and drop a file onto the upload area in the center.

Supported format: PDF

Add a document — drag a PDF or select to upload

Upload complete

When the upload finishes you land on the Share tab of the new document. Copy the share link from there and set per-link options.

Uploads are checked against two limits at once.

Limit	Starter	Pro	Business	Enterprise
Monthly uploads (new documents + versions)	10	30	30 per seat	Custom
PDF file size	30 MB	100 MB	300 MB	Custom

For details, see Upload documents.

Frequently asked questions

When I log in, do I still get the Home screen (KPI summary) like before?

Yes. Log in and you land on Home, which shows your whole space’s KPIs — unique viewers, anonymous viewers, email leads — alongside recent documents, contacts, and referrers. For the full layout, see Tour the Home screen.

Can I log in with a Google account and no password?

Yes. Continue with Google on the login screen signs you up and logs you in at once. If you signed up with an email and password, those work too.

I signed up and there are six documents I don't recognize. Can I delete them?

Those are the sample documents given to new accounts — five inside two folders and one outside them. They ship with sample engagement records so you can see how Home fills up with KPIs, viewers, contacts, and referrers. Click Delete sample docs in the header to clear them in one go; your own uploads are untouched.

The Library menu is gone from the sidebar — is it Data rooms now?

Library, the gallery of public folders, has been replaced by Data rooms. Instead of publishing a whole folder, you now pick share links from several documents and publish them together as one page. Recipients open it without logging in, and each link keeps its original settings.

I'm a member and the Domain menu won't open when I click it.

The Domain menu always shows in the sidebar for admins and members alike, but custom domain setup is admin only. Click it as a member and nothing navigates — you get an admin-access notice instead, so ask an admin to set up the domain. The Members menu works for both roles.

I clicked an admin menu and got a permissions notice, not a plan prompt.

FeatPaper checks your role before your plan. When a member clicks an admin-only menu such as Domain, the admin-access notice comes first. The plan prompt appears only when an admin clicks a feature their current plan does not include.

The AI Analytics menu won't open.

AI Analytics shows for admins and members alike, but using it needs Pro or above. Click it on Starter and you do not reach the page — the plan-selection screen opens instead.

I can't find the tab I want in Settings.

Which Settings tabs appear depends on your role and plan. Space Information, Custom Domain, Logo Settings, Billing & Plans, and Usage are admin only. Custom Domain needs Enterprise, and Logo Settings needs Pro or above. The old Credit usage tab is now Usage, and it covers uploads and seats as well as credits.

How do I create a new space?

You cannot create one from the screen right now. The workspace switcher moves you between spaces you already belong to, opens Space Information, and lets admins invite members. If you need an additional space, contact support.

Is there a fast way to find a document or folder? I don't see Search in the sidebar.

Search is not a sidebar item. It is the search icon at the top of the screen. Click it or press ⌘K (Mac) / Ctrl K (Windows) to open the search dialog, then search by folder or document name.

What happens if I have a lot of items in my sidebar Bookmarks?

Bookmarks shows up to 6 items by default, and you can expand the list to see the rest.

What file formats and sizes can I upload, and how many per month?

Direct uploads support PDF only. File size caps at 30 MB on Starter, 100 MB on Pro, and 300 MB on Business, with Enterprise set per contract. A monthly upload count applies on top: 10 on Starter, 30 on Pro, and 30 per seat on Business, counting new documents and version updates together. For PPT originals, use the PowerPoint plugin.
