Determine which folder a document lives in from link
Denise Richards
We need to find out which folder a document lives in when we only have the URL for the document. For example, how do I figure out what document folder this is in:

While we're open to considering an easier, more streamlined approach, for now, you can determine on which documents page a document file lives by visiting the following URL:
https://admin.hoa-express.com/pages/documents/PAGE_ID/view
...where you replace
PAGE_ID
with the number between the final two forward slashes (/
) in the document's URL. For example, for the document file URL you posted above, the Admin Portal URL would be: https://admin.hoa-express.com/pages/documents/4279790294/view.Madison Cox
Wes Cossick Could you just take the name of the file that is shown in the file list and place that at the end of the url?
For example, say i have a file named newletter_march_2026 and its a pdf,
Then the url for it would be:
As a software developer myself, and learning you are transitioning to react, i think once its transitioned, this would be doable. Which seems like it is part of the beta version somewhat.

Wes Cossick Thank you. I haven't needed this capability, but I tested the solution and it works great. I added it to our Admin FAQ page.

Madison Cox: All of our modern document and file URLs already place the friendly file name at the end of the URL, after the last forward slash. You can see this on the beta version of our community websites now (example), along with the Admin Portal. Once the beta version replaces the current version, all document and file URLs will use this newer format.

Wes Cossickdo you know when the beta sites will be released?

Madison Cox: Our engineering team is making great progress, and we're nearing the completion of the project. We've been posting about our progress on our changelog and quarterly recap blog posts. Keep following those for updates, and we'll share more via email announcements when the time comes!

I'm still at the initialization period of my HOA Express website. I concur "what would an example be of when this would happen where the administrator didn't know where a document lives?"
