HTML pages: a whole HTML file as a document

Organizations can now keep a page that is one HTML file as a document of its own. Documents of the new HTML page type hold exactly one self-contained HTML file. The page fills the reading area below the document bar, as the file looks, without a surrounding sheet, repeated document title or block border. Agents use it for dashboards, overviews, concepts and mockups they write as HTML, instead of leaving a local file behind.

Ask your agent to upload a self-contained HTML file and create an HTML page document that references it. To update the page, the agent uploads a replacement file and updates the reference.

An HTML page is shared, versioned and opened like any other document, also in public organizations, where readers see it edge to edge as well. Version history and comparison still show the file on the sheet. Below the page, the list of documents that reference it keeps the usual page margin.

An HTML page shows knowledge for people; the facts it shows live in the documents that own them. Search and link previews read the document title, not the file, so give the page a telling title. Keep styles, scripts, fonts and images inside the file: external resources are blocked, and the sandbox prevents access to cookies and browser storage. You cannot start a comment by selecting text inside the page yet. PDF and Word exports omit the HTML content; they include the document title and, if set, the label of the HTML file.

No upgrade is needed. Existing documents and document types are unchanged.
