# Introducing: Document Library Manager

You knew it as **Download Monitor Page Add-on** - useful, but a bit... vanilla.

So we gave it a new name — **Document Library Manager** — and a new mission: 
To help you build the kind of download experience that looks like it came from a Fortune 500 site… even if you set it up in your pajamas. 🥷

\- No devs skills needed. 
\- No duct tape. 
\- No endless clicking through menus you forgot how to find.
 
Just a clean, powerful download section that works, and looks brilliant doing it.

#### Why We Rebuilt It (Hint: Not Just for Fun)

We nerded out. We studied how the best websites present their downloads — the ones that make you think "**Wow, this is so easy to use**".

Then we stole the good bits (you're welcome) and turned them into something you can use — without knowing a single line of code.

#### Two Views. One Mission: Make You Look Pro

You've now got two layout modes that can make your downloads look great. Switch between them freely, based on the vibe you're going for:

##### Table View

You have full control and can:

- Show only the columns you need
- Choose your own font size (because Arial 12pt is a crime)
- Set colors, paddings, borders — all the visual spice
- Deliver that clean, organized feel users crave

Perfect for product docs, policies, and all those serious-sounding PDFs.

##### Grid View

Use it when your downloads need to pop:

- Set columns per device (mobile, tablet, desktop)
- Adjust font size & alignment
- Create sleek, clickable cards that actually invite clicks

It's clean. It's mobile-friendly. And yes, it looks fantastic on retina displays.

#### Use Blocks or Shortcodes — Your Call

We're not here to tell you how to build your site.

Use the Gutenberg **Downloads Listing** block for a live-preview setup.

We've still got you, just use:
**\[download\_listing\]**

Either way, you're 30 seconds away from a killer download section.

#### Designed With Real People In Mind

This update isn't "**yet another layout option**". It's a rethink of how download libraries should feel:

- Instant clarity for your users
- Less confusion = fewer support requests
- A smoother flow for everyone involved (yes, including you)
- It's what happens when you actually listen to feedback

#### Built by People Who Obsess Over the Details

We didn't just ship new features. We obsessed over margins, paddings, responsiveness, and "**why-does-this-need-three-clicks**" moments.

Everything is designed to help you do more with less friction.

Because that's how professional sites stay ahead: **they sweat the small stuff**.

#### Your Downloads Deserve Better

If your current file listings feel clunky, messy, or like they were designed in 2007 — it's time for a glow-up.

**Document Library Manager** is here.

And it's ready to make your downloads look as good as the rest of your site.

If you're an active license holder, and you've got the Popular or higher plan - just go to your Dashboard and look out for the update. If you're on the Basic plan, you're going to have to upgrade.

P.S: All of our upgrades are prorated so you're getting a good deal!

All the best,
WPChill team.
