Introducing the Enhanced Document Viewer in leafplanner

A Powerful Upgrade from Basic Viewing to Advanced Document Interaction

We are pleased to announce the launch of an advanced, integrated document processor and web viewer within leafplanner—designed to streamline your experience with reviewing, annotating, and collaborating on important family and enterprise documents.

A Seamless Document Experience, Tailored for Families of Wealth

This new feature allows you to view, interact with, and manage your documents directly within the leafplanner platform—eliminating the need to download files or switch between applications. Whether reviewing estate plans, trust instruments, operating agreements, or other critical documents, the new viewer ensures efficiency, clarity, and continuity.

Key Capabilities of the Web Viewer

  • In-Browser Viewing: Instantly open and navigate PDF documents and other file types without ever leaving the leafplanner environment.

  • Annotation Tools: Highlight text, add comments, draw shapes, underline passages, and more—ideal for internal collaboration or preparing questions for advisors.

  • Search and Navigate: Easily search for key terms or clauses within long-form documents and jump directly to relevant sections. 

  • Bookmarking and Tagging: Save your place in longer documents or tag key sections for quick reference later.

  • Version Control and Audit Trail: Track changes and comments over time, helping you maintain context and continuity during reviews.

Use Cases in Context

  • Highlight areas of concern in a family governance document for review with counsel

  • Annotate a trust document with questions for an upcoming family meeting

  • Bookmark sections of an operating agreement that are relevant to a new investment or transition event

  • Compare multiple versions of a document with ease and transparency

How to Use the Document Viewer

  1. Upload or Select a Document: Navigate to Documents table or a resource within your leafplan (e.g., Insurance, Legal, Assets) and upload a new file or select an existing document.

  2. Open in Viewer: Click the document title or "Preview" image of the file. The file will open in the embedded viewer.

  3. Annotate or Search: Use the toolbar at the top of the viewer to highlight, comment, search, or draw.

  4. Save: All annotations are automatically saved but be sure to click the "save" icon nonetheless. Download a marked-up version, depending on your collaboration preferences.

Designed for Context, Built for Families

This document processor is not a generic viewer—it’s been embedded into the fabric of leafplanner to support the unique needs of families, their advisors, and multi-generational planning. It ensures that documents are not only accessible, but also actionable, contextualized, and integrated within the broader planning conversation.
