Quick Start Guide

Get from signup to a permanent URL and DOI in 5 minutes.

1. Create Account

Sign up with your email address. Check your inbox for a verification email and click the link to activate your account.

2. Upload Your Work

Once logged in, go to your dashboard and click “Upload New Scroll.” Each document on Press is called a scroll.

What to upload:

  • A single .html file with everything inlined, OR
  • A .zip archive containing your HTML file and its assets (images, CSS, JS, data files)

Size limit: 50MB maximum.

How to create HTML files:

  • RSM: rsm build paper.rsm --standalone (single file), or zip the output folder
  • Quarto: quarto render document.qmd --to html (single file or zip the output folder)
  • Typst: HTML export (experimental)
  • Jupyter: jupyter nbconvert --to html notebook.ipynb
  • MyST: Use MyST-Parser HTML export
  • Hand-coded: Write HTML directly

If your tool produces an HTML file plus a _files/ or assets directory, zip the whole output folder and upload the zip. Press will auto-detect the entry point.
