Exhibit Stamping with Case Profiles
Case profiles let you save exhibit labeling configurations for different matters. Here's when they're worth the premium—and when simpler approaches work just as well.
What Are Case Profiles?
Case profiles are a feature in Final Exhibits 2 (Full version, $95/year) that saves complete exhibit labeling configurations for individual matters. Each profile stores:
Label Format
Numbers vs letters, starting value, prefix/suffix
Party Designation
Plaintiff's, Defendant's, or custom naming
Stamp Position
Corner placement and offset values
Case Identifier
Case name or number for organization
The idea: switch between cases instantly without re-entering your exhibit labeling preferences for each matter.

When Do Case Profiles Actually Matter?
Case Profiles Are Worth It If...
- You handle 10+ active matters simultaneously
- Cases require drastically different label formats
- Multiple attorneys share the same workstation
- You switch between cases many times daily
- Your firm has standardized profiles to distribute
Browser Persistence Is Sufficient If...
- Most of your cases use similar exhibit formats
- You prep exhibits for one case at a time
- You use consistent party designations
- You want simplicity over configuration
- You need Mac, iPad, or Chromebook support
The Honest Take
If your firm manages dozens of active cases with radically different exhibit labeling requirements, Final Exhibits' case profiles feature is genuinely useful. The ability to switch between named configurations saves time when you're constantly context-switching.
However: For most solo practitioners and small firms, ExhibitPrep's automatic persistence handles 90% of use cases. You pick a template, adjust the position once, and it remembers those settings. No profile management, no $95/year commitment, and it works on Mac, iPad, and Chromebook—platforms Final Exhibits doesn't support.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are case profiles in exhibit stamping software?
Case profiles are saved configurations that store exhibit labeling preferences for specific matters—including numbering sequences, party designations, stamp formatting, and position settings. Final Exhibits 2 offers case profiles in their $95/year Full version, allowing users to switch between cases without reconfiguring settings each time.
Does ExhibitPrep have case profiles?
ExhibitPrep uses a simpler approach: browser-based persistence that automatically remembers your last-used template and position settings. While you cannot save named profiles for different cases, your most recent configuration is always preserved. For attorneys handling similar case types, this covers 90% of use cases without the complexity of managing multiple profiles.
When are case profiles worth the extra cost?
Case profiles provide value for firms handling 10+ active matters with different exhibit labeling conventions (e.g., some cases use numbers, others use letters, some require specific date formats). If you frequently switch between drastically different configurations multiple times per day, the $95/year Final Exhibits Full version may be worth it. For most practitioners handling similar case types, browser persistence is sufficient.
Can I save exhibit templates in ExhibitPrep?
ExhibitPrep includes 26 pre-built templates covering all common party designations (plaintiff, defendant, petitioner, respondent, etc.), proceeding types (arbitration, deposition), and special categories (demonstrative, rebuttal). Your last-used template and position are automatically remembered. For trial binder mode, exhibit titles and order are preserved within your session.
What happens to my settings when I close the browser?
ExhibitPrep stores your last-used template selection, stamp position, and export preferences in browser local storage. This data persists until you clear your browser cache. Your PDF files are never stored—only your configuration preferences. When you return, your previous settings are automatically restored.
