Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use my Final Exhibits 2 settings in ExhibitPrep?
ExhibitPrep uses a different approach than Final Exhibits 2. Instead of importing XML custom stamps, ExhibitPrep provides 26 pre-built professional templates that cover all common legal scenarios (Plaintiff, Defendant, Deposition, etc.). Most users find they can start immediately without any setup. If you need custom styling, templates are configurable with different fonts, colors, and layouts.
What about my case profiles from Final Exhibits 2?
ExhibitPrep does not currently have case profiles. However, since ExhibitPrep runs in your browser, your last-used template and stamp position are automatically remembered. For most workflows, this provides similar convenience. Case profiles are being considered for future development.
Is ExhibitPrep as fast as Final Exhibits 2?
Yes, often faster. ExhibitPrep processes documents entirely in your browser using modern JavaScript, with no network uploads. Batch stamping a 10-document case typically takes under 30 seconds. Both tools offer one-click batch stamping with automatic sequential numbering.
Do I need to cancel my Final Exhibits 2 subscription?
You can try ExhibitPrep without canceling Final Exhibits 2. Since ExhibitPrep offers pay-per-use pricing ($4.99 per session), you can test it on a real case and compare the experience. If you decide to switch, you can cancel Final Exhibits 2 at your renewal date.
What happens if I have an issue with ExhibitPrep?
ExhibitPrep offers email support and a comprehensive help center. Since documents are processed locally in your browser, there are no server outages to worry about. If you encounter any issues, our team typically responds within one business day.
