Everything Your Team Needs to Plan, Deliver & Reuse
Save time at every step
- Create Outlines & Lists: Build a document list using placeholders and headers, so you can clearly see which documents are missing before a set is finalized.
- Deliver Work, Faster: Turn completed sets into a hyperlinked PDF or structured ZIP for immediate digital delivery. No outside vendor needed. A polished, bookmark-navigated PDF in minutes.
- Reuse Across Matters: Duplicate any set from the Set Library for similar transactions, matters, or filings, so past work becomes a starting point rather than a memory.
Keep work securely within NetDocuments
- Link to Existing Documents: Link documents directly from NetDocuments into a set. No duplicate copies, no version confusion, every document in its governed location.
- Bulk Download: Export an entire section as a ZIP and send it straight to the client without leaving the DMS.
- Copy or Link Multiple Documents: Add multiple documents from a matter or project in a single action. No manual file-by-file selection.
- Locate & Preview Final Sets: Use the Sets tab to quickly find finalized sets for any case, matter, or project, and preview documents without downloading.
Build a library of reusable assets
The Set Library stores completed document sets directly within your NetDocuments workspace. Organized, searchable, and ready to clone.
The second closing binder, the next board packet, the following FOIA response — all start from a proven template instead of a blank page.
The result is that teams move faster on every matter that follows.
