Paperzilla supports both anonymous onboarding and email-based account access.

Anonymous start

You can begin project setup in chat before creating a full account.

When you save delivery, Paperzilla asks for email and sends a magic link to complete access.

Magic-link sign in

Paperzilla uses one-time email links/codes for authentication.

Typical flow:

1. Enter your email.
2. Open the email from Paperzilla.
3. Click link or enter code.
4. Continue where you left off.

Existing account handoff

If you enter an email that already has a Paperzilla account during setup, Paperzilla sends a sign-in link and restores your setup after sign in.

Access boundaries

• Project onboarding can start anonymously.
• Full project dashboard and management require account access.
• Private project links require owner access.

Profile completion

If needed, Paperzilla asks for missing profile fields (for example first name) before continuing.
