Document Storage

AI Document Summary

The Document AI Summary tool makes it easy to understand complex files by pulling out key facts and outlines. It only uses clearly stated information from the text, so it doesn’t guess, interpret, or give legal advice. If a document has unclear headings or missing details, those sections will stay empty to avoid errors.

Move Files and Folders

If you are using NextGen's native document storage, you can move files and folders wherever they need to go — across folders, or even across different matters — without the hassle of downloading and re-uploading anything.

Edit Your Documents Within the Application

If you are using NextGen's native document storage, you can modify and manage files directly within your system. The system creates a new version tagged with a timestamp and the user’s name every time a document is edited and saved, maintaining a clear audit trail.

Note:

  • Multiple users can edit the same doc./file at the same time with the changes synchronized between editors.

  • Edits are applied to the same source file, so the Client Portal and other areas stay in sync with the latest version.

Supported file formats:

  • .DOCX — Word documents
  • .XLSX — Spreadsheets
  • .PDF — With annotation support

Manage Attachments

When you attach a document to an item (such as time card, expense, invoice, etc.), the application automatically creates an Internal Documents subfolder in the matter's folder and stores your attached documents within it.

Bulk Document Folder Creation

If a matter has already been created and you are integrating with a Document App (Box, CosmoLex, DropBox, Google Drive, LexShare, OneDrive, OneDrive for Business), the folder creation feature allows you to create matter document folders in bulk. You will be able to view a report of all the matter folders created during the process.
