Published: December 2, 2025 • 3 min read

We're excited to announce a major improvement to how you work with documents in RiskRegister.ai. Our new document viewer makes it easier than ever to view, search, and navigate through your risk documents and control evidence.

What's New?

📄 In-Browser PDF and Image Viewing

No more downloading files just to check their contents. View PDFs and images directly in your browser with our full-screen document viewer. The viewer supports:

  • Images - JPG, PNG, GIF, and WebP formats display at optimal quality
  • Other files - Word documents and Excel spreadsheets show a download option

🔍 Built-in PDF Search

Find what you need quickly with integrated PDF search. Search for specific terms, navigate between matches, and highlight all occurrences - all without leaving the viewer.

📚 Multi-Document Navigation

When you have multiple documents, the viewer shows a sidebar with all files. Features include:

  • File list - See all documents with names, types, and upload dates
  • Quick search - Filter the file list by name (appears when you have 5+ documents)
  • One-click switching - Click any file to view it instantly
  • Keyboard shortcuts - Use arrow keys to navigate, ESC to close

  • Risk documents show the risk ID and name
  • Control evidence shows the control reference and name
