The Opus 2 document viewer allows users to open, read, and interact with documents directly from the Documents page. From the viewer, users can navigate between pages, search within the document, apply annotations and actions, and review notes associated with the document.
Documents are initially previewed in the right‑hand panel, and selected pages can be opened in the full document viewer, which defaults to opening in a new browser tab for focused review.
How to View a Document
- Navigate to the Documents page.
- Highlight the document you wish to view.

- The document preview is displayed in the right‑hand panel.
- Use the page numbers at the top of the preview to navigate to the desired page.

By default, the Document viewer opens in a new tab, allowing uninterrupted document review.
Example:
