5 reasons to use a smart document portal

Aug 23, 2023

A document portal gives readers one place to find and use up-to-date documentation. It also makes publishing and maintenance easier for the people responsible for the content.

A good document portal should be secure, efficient, and easy to use. Here are five reasons to consider one:

1. Documents are only in one place

When documents are published in one portal, readers know where to look. They can browse, read, and annotate content in their browser while accessing the current published version. With Readin, you can publish from SharePoint or your file system. Supported formats include Word, XML, HTML, PowerPoint, and PDF.

2. Optimal readability

People read documentation on phones, tablets, and computers. Readin presents documents in a responsive web format that adapts to the screen, unlike the fixed-page layout of many Word and PDF files.

3. Get started quickly

Getting started doesn't have to be a lengthy IT project. A portal can be set up in a few hours, after which you can publish documents with just a few clicks.

4. Customize the document portal

Adapt the portal's content and appearance to different audiences and their needs.

5. Analysis and user insights

Analytics can show which documents are read and how often. These insights can help your team improve content and prioritize updates.
