There's also a deep-search feature that not only lets you look for content in documents but also user names.Ī handy 'following' feed shows a chronological activity on files you own and files that have been shared with you. In order to keep track of different types of content within a single document, or even multiple documents at once, Paper has various features that allow you to easily access documents, sort them into folders, and share them with others.
