EmbedFox documentation

Document library guide

How a document lives in EmbedFox: from an anonymous seven-day link to a claimed document in a publishing workspace.

See publishing plan scope

From public link to library.

An anonymous upload creates a public reader link that expires after seven days. Claiming the document into an account keeps the same link and moves the document under your workspace, where its retention follows your plan.

Public details readers see.

The upload filename stays private. Readers see only the title, description and document language you explicitly save in the dashboard — and the document language also selects the reviewed translation of the reader controls.

Replace a file under the same link.

On a paid publishing workspace, an editor can replace a document’s PDF with a new version. The slug, the public link, every page deep link and every embed on other websites keep working; readers simply see the new pages after the swap. The original file never changes address, so nothing needs re-embedding.

Source download and lifecycle.

Publishers decide whether the original PDF may be downloaded. Rendered documents can keep the source private while pages stay readable, and an expired or removed document answers readers with a clear gone state instead of a broken page.

Public boundary. Anonymous uploads are public and expire after seven days. Plan capabilities such as a persistent library and file replacement belong to paid publishing workspaces and open with the complete purchase path described on the roadmap.

Questions this page answers.

Short answers to what publishers ask about this part of EmbedFox.

What happens after seven days?
An anonymous document expires and its reader answers with a gone state. Claiming it into an account before then keeps the same link and stops the expiry.
Do readers see my file name?
No. The upload filename stays private. Readers see the title, description and document language you save yourself.
Can I replace the file later?
On a paid publishing workspace, yes. The slug, public link, every page deep link and every existing embed keep working — readers just see the new pages.
What happens if I stop paying?
Documents are not deleted. The workspace returns to the free scope and paid-only settings stop applying.
