Find all the files that you and your VLO have shared with each other across all your project chats, including deliverables (finalized versions of your files).

📌 Use the Documents Tab to:

  • Download a document or deliverable

  • Bookmark multiple documents or deliverables

  • Switch between viewing only deliverables and only documents

  • Use the toggle button to show only bookmarked documents

  • Use "show in chat" to find your document in the chat where they were shared

  • This feature works for any document or deliverable shared as an attachment in a chat

Documents vs. deliverables—what’s the difference?

  • A “working document” is any file or link that you, your VLO, and/or your service providers are working on as part of a project

  • A “deliverable” is the final version of a file (doc, pdf, xls)

How do documents become deliverables?

  • Once a deliverable is ready, your VLO will share it with you in in your project chat so you can review and approve it

  • Your VLO will then upload the deliverable to its related task within your project

Where to view your deliverables

You can find your deliverables in three places:

  1. In your chat messages where your VLO will have shared any deliverables with you

  2. In your projects, next to the tasks related to the deliverable(s)

  3. In the Documents Tab

Find the Documents Tab

  1. Head to your Legal Nodes account

  2. Go to the left-side navigation bar and click on the Documents Tab

Navigate the Documents Tab

The table of documents shows:

  • The project that the document or deliverable is connected to

  • The file name of the document or deliverable

  • The author of the document or deliverable (either a service provider or your VLO)

  • Options for actions you can take, including showing the document or deliverable in the original chat and bookmarking and downloading the document or deliverable

Search for a file

  • Documents and deliverables can be searched by their file name

  • Type in the name of the file you wish find

  • Hit enter to generate search results

Bookmark a file and view bookmarked files

  1. Click on the bookmark icon to bookmark a file

  2. Use the toggle button to switch between showing all files and showing only bookmarked files

  3. There is no limit to the number of bookmarks possible; bookmark as many files as you like!

Download any document or deliverable

  1. Click on the three-dot icon

  2. Click on “Download”

  3. Your download should automatically begin

Find a document or deliverable in a project chat

  1. Click “Show in chat”

  2. You will leave the Documents Tab and be taken to the project chat where the document was shared

  3. Use this feature to remind yourself of the context or progress of work on a file or to search for other details or a conversation related to the file or project

More updates coming soon!

We’re already working on an upgrade that will allow links to online documents (e.g. a Google doc) that are shared in chats to appear in the Documents Tab too.
