Document Preview
By clicking on a document anywhere in the app, you will be shown its Preview. Here you can preview the content of most of the common document types such as PDF and MS Office documents, images, and others.
Circularo supports the preview of following document types:
- eDoc - Circularo document
- PDF - application/pdf
- IMAGE - all standard image formats (jpg, png, gif…)
- TEXT - text/plain
- HTML - text/html
- CSV - text/csv
- VIDEO - all standard video formats (mpeg, mp4, flv, ogg…)
- AUDIO - all standard video formats (mp3, ogg, wav…)
- MS-OFFICE & Open Office (all well-known formats like xls, xlsx, doc, docx, ppt, pptx etc.).
On the right hand side, you will see your document's Detail, where you can find basic information about the file. Then you can view if the document has any Comments, or add some yourself. Last but not least, the Activity tab displays the entire history of the document in a chronological order.

These are the actions available in the preview toolbar:
The description of each icon becomes visible when you hover your mouse over the icon. The icon/action selection can differ by Circularo subscription plan.

Annotations
Availability: Business and Enterprise
Users can add text, highlight any text in the document, or draw shapes and lines during the document preview.
This feature is useful and time-saving for the participants of the document’s creation and signing process, since they are now able to communicate their suggestions and objections to each other clearly, easily, and without having to reject the document first.
Keep in mind that every time you annotate a PDF document, the annotation will become a part of the PDF file and cannot be removed!
Different annotation options become visible upon clicking on Annotations at the bottom of the page.
There are many customization options available when adding annotations such as font, color, or text alignment.
Toggle thumbnails
Page thumbnails can be turned on to make the navigation across multi-page documents easier. That way, you can quickly find the page you are looking for.
