Firm Only (Internal) Files

Firm Only files are internal documents that can only be seen by firm employees and admins. These files are marked with a lock icon next to the file name.

Who Can View Firm Only Files?

  • Only firm staff can view them

  • Clients cannot see Firm Only files, even if the file is associated with their Account or Contact

    • Associating it with a client just helps your team stay organized—it doesn’t give the client access.

When Can You Mark a File as Firm Only?

You can mark a file as Firm Only if it's uploaded:

  • Directly to Liscio (outside of a Message, Task, or Request)

  • As part of a Note or To Do (these are Firm Only by default)

What Happens If You Share a Firm Only File?

Sharing a Firm Only file makes it public.
Once shared:

  • The client can see the file

  • Account Owners and recipients will have access

If you try to share a Firm Only file through the Liscio Vault, a warning will appear:

“You have selected a Firm Only file. Attaching it to a message will change the status to public…”
