Document mode

Document mode gives a page a second life as a paginated presentation — a printable document built from the same sections, with a cover, a page rail, and a downloadable PDF.

Open the Pages modal from the toolbar, expand the page, and switch on Document mode. Nothing changes on the normal page; the document view is an addition.

Once it is on, two buttons appear:

  • Viewers get a View as document button in the bottom-right corner of the page, which opens the presentation at /present/<page>.
  • Editors get an Edit as document button in the same corner, which opens the full-screen document editor.

The document editor shows the paginated result with a settings panel alongside it.

  • Cover — Title, Label, Date, a cover image, and Background / Accent colours.
  • Header — Client, Project and Date label appear as a crumb line on every page; empty fields are left out.
  • Per section — each heading on the page becomes a chunk of the document. For each you can untick Include in document, choose where text and images sit, split the chunk at its sub-headings with Split pages at, and pick an image layout.

These settings live with the page, so they are saved and published along with your other edits.

Each publish renders a PDF of every document-mode page. Viewers download it from the Download PDF button in the presentation’s toolbar. Where a page is restricted by audience, each audience gets its own PDF containing only what it is allowed to see.
