Let’s take a closer look at how to post and manage documents. Once uploaded, each document has additional tabs or functions accessible by a Manager or Administrator of the site. Under the Edit tab within a document or when using the Add New Document button, settings for each document can be changed.
Documents Dashboard
Documents can be managed from the dashboard, such as edit , unpublish
, delete
- Document size is limited to 25mb by default to improve the loading time for users on slow internet connections or older computers. If your document is larger than 25mb, we recommend to compress it or to split it into multiple PDFs.
- It is important to save your documents as Adobe optimized PDFs as this provides the best type of compression.
- Do not use special characters in a filename. This increases the chance that it will interfere with the file fully loading and the system mishandling the filename.
Create Document
- Title - Name of document.
- Call to Action - Show above. Customizable to your desired message.
- Short Introduction - Shown above. Displayed on the homepage under the title and on the document detail page.
Plan Library - Status - will be available to set on a document if the Plan Hub is enabled on your site. Keep status set to N/A to exclude documents from Plan Library. Add/edit status levels on the Settings tab of the dashboard.
Document Options
-
Download - by checking or unchecking the “Allow Document to be Downloaded” you will control if a download button is displayed at the top of the document for participants to download the pdf. If the button is unchecked viewers will not be able to download the document.

Glossary Tooltips - Our glossary feature allows you to add help text popups over every instance of common jargon words or acronyms, adding clarity to your documents for the average visitor. When visitors hover over an underlined word, a help-text definition will appear. To create a glossary, you'll upload a spreadsheet in CSV format with two columns as in our step by step guide: Adding an Interactive Glossary to your PDF.
General Settings

- Teams - Available to Enterprise clients. if your assigned Administrator has added Departments to your site in the Settings tab, you will be able to select if you want a document to be assigned to a particular department. Departments allow the functionality to limit the visibility of documents, forms, overviews and discussion on the backend of your Konveio site to the department they are assigned. If you do not want to categorize your documents leave all documents, forms, overview pages under the "general" category.
- Project - If enabled select applicable project to add the document to the project.

Build out sections for your document but title and page range to analyze comments in the Theme reports. This makes it easier to identify emerging themes and trends.
Summary
Enable Summary to create interactive summaries to help visitors explore your document on their own terms.

Step-by-step Guide
Enabling this allows you to add a quick introduction and content to guide users through your document. Content will appear on the associated pages and PDF file selected. Multiple steps can be added within a guide by clicking + Add another item button.
User Tracking - Video
Enable the user tracker
User tracking lets you collect participant details with a form and automatically attach the form submission to every comment or survey response submitted thereafter. Once collected, the data stays synced to the participant via a cookie, so their information can follow them across multiple activities. When you export results to CSV, the intake fields appear alongside each comment or response, making it easy to segment and analyze participation.
- Add tracking forms to Discussions and Webforms
- Support multiple tracked activities on a single page
- Include tracking data directly in Activity reports
- Typical uses include demographics (e.g., Zip code, role) or require acknowledgements like terms and conditions or member IDs.
To set it up, create an intake form in the Form Builder and enable Set tracking cookie after form submission in the form’s settings. Then, for each activity (e.g., a document, comment board, or survey), open Edit → User Tracking, toggle Enable user tracking, and select your intake form from the dropdown (only forms with the cookie option enabled will appear). You can present the form as a mandatory splash screen on a documents, or host it once up front (linked or embedded) and skip the splash on individual boards—the cookie will carry the data across as long as User Tracking is enabled on each activity. After participants submit, they can proceed as usual; all subsequent comments and survey entries will include the linked user fields in reporting.
Enable Splash Screen Form - set to enable a form tracking with a document.
Make the Splash Screen Form Mandatory to require users to complete the form/survey prior to viewing the document.
