Frequently Asked Questions

How do I organize multiple contract versions?

Upload all contract versions and amendments, then use drag-and-drop to arrange them chronologically. Apply clear labels like "Exhibit A: Original Agreement 01/15/2021" and "Exhibit B: First Amendment 06/30/2021" to create a clear contract timeline for the fact-finder.

Can I turn a large e-discovery production into a focused exhibit set?

Yes. After e-discovery review, upload just the key documents you plan to use — ExhibitPrep isn't built for reviewing the full production, only for stamping the subset you've selected for trial, arbitration, or a demand. The $14.99 day pass gives unlimited processing, so re-stamping as your exhibit list changes costs nothing extra.

How do I keep exhibits straight in a multi-party dispute?

Use party-specific prefixes in your exhibit labels (e.g., "Plaintiff Exhibit 1" vs. "ABC Corp Exhibit A") and organize correspondence either by party or chronologically depending on whether the dispute turns on who-said-what or the sequence of events.

Can I use the summary exhibit template for a voluminous-records case?

Yes. Federal Rule of Evidence 1006 allows a summary chart, calculation, or exhibit to represent voluminous records that can't be conveniently examined in court, provided the underlying documents are made available to the other side. ExhibitPrep's Summary Exhibit template is designed for this — label it clearly as a summary and keep the source spreadsheets or ledgers available for opposing counsel to inspect.

Can I include financial spreadsheets as exhibits?

Convert Excel files to PDF before uploading. For native Excel files still in the batch, ExhibitPrep generates a professional slipsheet placeholder page rather than silently skipping the file, so nothing goes missing from the exhibit sequence. Most attorneys convert key financial exhibits to PDF before filing regardless, since courts expect a stable, non-editable format.

Does confidential business information ever leave my computer?

No. Every file is processed locally in the browser with pdf-lib and pdfjs-dist. Contracts, financial statements, and other documents covered by an NDA or protective order are never transmitted to a server — that matters when trade secrets or proprietary pricing data are part of the exhibit set.
