# View Document

Document detail page and its features

The document view page is where you open a single document to read its details, download the latest file and interact with the document — check expiration and review the file history.

> Access to the page itself is restricted by the document's recipient list and, for `flying_only` documents, to active pilots. Soft-deleted documents return a "document has been deleted" error.

### Document details

The view page shows:

* Folder location and document name
* Description and current version caption
* Expiration date (if any)
* Latest file with size, type and uploader
* Authorized user groups (recipient list)

The latest file is always shown first, prominently, as the current version to read or download. Older versions are still listed underneath for any user with access to the document (download or view, matching the document's own download setting); only managers get the option to delete a version.

### Download

Click the file to download the current version. Each download is recorded against your user, the document and the specific upload version. Re-downloading the same version is recorded only the first time, so the registry reflects who has actually seen the file rather than how many times they clicked.

The view page also shows the date you personally last downloaded the current version, so you know whether you are up to date with the latest publication.

### Notifications

When a new version is published, the system can notify all authorized users by message and email. Each notification links straight to the document view page so recipients can read and download the new file in one click.
