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.
- Case profiles are a feature of the Final Exhibits 2 Full version ($95/year), storing label format, party designation, stamp position, and case identifier per matter.
- The Final Exhibits Lite version does not include case profiles.
- ExhibitPrep automatically remembers the last-used template, stamp position, and export preferences in browser local storage instead of named profiles.
- Saved jobs and settings are stored locally in your browser. Download finished documents and a recovery project when offered; browser storage is not a permanent backup.
- ExhibitPrep includes 29 pre-built stamp templates covering plaintiff, defendant, petitioner, respondent, deposition, arbitration, and specialized designations.
- ExhibitPrep runs in the browser on Mac, iPad, Chromebook, and Windows, while Final Exhibits requires a Windows installation.
- ExhibitPrep pricing starts at $4.99 per use with no annual commitment; unlimited monthly use costs $39.99 per month.
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: ExhibitPrep remembers your last-used setup in this browser. That can reduce repeated setup, but it does not provide separate named configurations for each matter. Check the template, labels, and case details before preparing another filing.

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 remembers your last-used setup in this browser and offers shortcuts to recent template designs. It does not provide named profiles for different cases. Recent designs do not restore earlier case details or custom settings; check the setup for each new matter.
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 29 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 setup is saved in this browser, and recent designs provide template shortcuts. These shortcuts are not saved custom configurations. Review the labels, case details, and placement for each new matter.
What happens to my settings when I close the browser?
ExhibitPrep saves settings in this browser. Saved jobs can also contain original and prepared PDFs stored locally on this device. Browser storage can be cleared or become unavailable, so download your finished documents and save a recovery project when offered. Local browser storage is not a permanent backup.
