Build a digital guest manual for free
Use the full editor before signup, save in this browser, and continue when you are ready to publish.
For hosts and property managers ยท Updated September 30, 2026
What this is
The Free Digital Guest Manual Builder page is the visual, step-by-step guide to StayPerk's complete editor. It uses the current builder animation and genuine editor, media-library, app preview, and printable design images to explain secure private-draft autosave, custom sections, account claim, publishing, and permanent sharing.
When to use it
Use this before starting a new manual when you want to compare both onboarding paths or understand how free PDF downloads differ from cloud saving and digital publishing.
Steps
- Open Free Digital Guest Manual Builder from Resources, the Digital Guest Manual solution, or a related public manual page.
- To try StayPerk first, choose Create digital manual. Enter the property name and address, choose a protected Google address suggestion when useful, then complete any core or custom sections in the full editor.
- Add photos or short videos, choose section order and visibility, and review the private draft in live Public and Private app previews while it autosaves securely. Opening the builder or a preview does not save a server draft until the first real edit, media change, editor save, or account handoff.
- Choose Save manual at any time to save the anonymous draft immediately in this browser without publishing it. When you are ready for a permanent guest link, choose Publish Manual and then Continue to publish; the manual stays private until you explicitly publish it.
- On the next page, choose Host workspace or Property manager workspace, then Continue with Google, Continue with email, or Already use StayPerk? Sign in. Email continuation uses one password field with Show or Hide, and verification resumes the manual transfer.
- To begin with a workspace first, choose the workspace-first option, select Host, verify the account, add the property, and open its manual from the authenticated workspace.
- After the manual belongs to the account, confirm Public and Private content, download a design in PDF manuals, publish the digital guide, and share its permanent guest link or in-property QR code.
- In the digital editor, open PDF manuals directly below Previews. Choose any of the 16 designs, Welcome Book or Sign, and a paper size. Edit, preview and download in the same editor without re-entering your details or signing in for a download.
What to expect
- Both paths use the same full manual editor; there is no reduced pre-auth form.
- Content readiness uses the same enabled-section calculation throughout the editor and guest workspace. It reflects current content; Saved or Unsaved separately describes persistence. Guest Properties returns to the active property editor and explains how an account enables multi-property management.
- Before signup, editing, custom sections, temporary photos and videos, ordering, visibility, secure autosave, and live Public and Private app previews are available. Autosave begins with the first changed field, editor save, or media change; viewing the page, defaults, or previews alone does not create a server record.
- PDF manuals and signs can be downloaded without an account. A verified account is required for cloud saving, publishing, permanent guest links and manual QR codes, duplication, and future account-based management. Anonymous Delete remains available and permanently removes the browser/server draft and temporary media after confirmation.
- Creating and sharing the manual has no monthly subscription, and no credit card is required to start.
Tips
- Start with arrival, parking, Wi-Fi, house rules, safety, checkout, and the questions guests ask most often.
- Review Public and Private preview modes before publishing sensitive instructions.
- Use the separate QR Studio for general browser-generated QR files; claim the manual for its permanent guest QR code.
