fileUrl: The URL of the document to be loaded into the iframe
Returns a promise that resolves when the document is done loading

syncDocument()

Starts the syncing of the documents.
If this method is not called for a particular receiver, the syncing will not work only for that receiver.
If this method is not called for the broadcaster, syncing will not work.

stopSync()

Stops the syncing.
Calling this method for a particular receiver, stops the sync only for that receiver

renderFilePickerUi(): Promise

Renders a file picker UI inside the iframe. It uploads the file to the backend. It is a helper function in case the user does not want to build their own file picker mechanism. Uses internally.
The promise resolves after the file is uploaded and returns a URL of the file which can then be passed into the loadDocument() function
