You can bring a document into the panel to talk about it, or so that it becomes part of the matter: an email that has just arrived, the other side's draft, a photo of a paper. JUDLEX reads Word, Excel, PDF, emails and images.
What happens to it depends on what you have on screen.
With a matter or a case file in front of you: it goes into the matter
If you drag a file onto the panel, or pick it with the paperclip next to the send button, it goes into the client's matter, just as if you had dropped it on the page you have open. While you hold it over the panel, the panel says Drop it to add it to the matter.
From then on it is one more paper in the matter: it is read, split and classified like the others, and once it is in a case file it will have an exhibit number and a folio and can be cited. With Automatic steps switched on, the chat tells you what has arrived and asks for your go-ahead before working on it: When papers come in. With them off, the paper comes in and is left alone until you ask: Add papers to a matter.
For a general question: it joins the conversation
With no matter or case file in front of you, there is nowhere to add it, so the document only joins the conversation. There are two ways:
Drag it onto the panel. While you hold it over the panel, the panel says Drop it to read it here.
Click the paperclip next to the send button and choose it.
It joins straight away and appears above the typing box, with its pages. Pages with their own text are read as they are; scanned pages and images are looked at by the artificial intelligence, which says so with I look at it or I look at … of them.
While a document is in the conversation, it goes along with every question you ask. If the conversation grows so much that it no longer fits in full, it travels summarised and its card says so: A long conversation. If you no longer need it, remove it with the X on its card, or with remove all. Removing it does not delete the file from your computer.
To keep it, the three-dot menu on its card offers Save as reference material: it saves a copy in the vault's Miscellaneous folder. It is for things you want to keep without them belonging to any matter, such as a model pleading or a circular: it has no exhibit or folio and cannot be cited.
Pasting an image
On any screen, you can paste an image into the typing box, for example a screenshot. It joins the conversation, never the matter. With a matter or a case file in front of you, above it you will see In this conversation · unsaved, no exhibit, not citable: JUDLEX can talk about it, but it cannot be used as a citation.
A pasted image cannot be saved, because it is not a file. If you want to keep it, save it on your computer first and drag it in.
