Your active document should drive the whole workspace.

Once a PDF is uploaded, RedLetter should stop feeling like onboarding and start feeling like a document-aware reading app with a clear next step into the focus reader.

Upload one PDF and RedLetter should switch modes.

This dashboard is meant to become document-aware. Once a file is uploaded, it should stop acting like onboarding and start acting like your reading workspace.

Upload your first PDF Preview reader shell

What should happen after upload?

• Show the active document name, size, and page count.

• Replace generic explainer copy with document-specific status.

• Surface summary or preview text as soon as extraction finishes.

• Give the user a clean handoff into the focus reader.
