# Connecting NetDocuments

### Summary

Learn how to connect your **NetDocuments** repository to Vincent. This integration allows you to securely import files directly via the native **ndConnect** interface for analysis, eliminating the need to download sensitive documents to your local device.

### Why This is Important

This integration provides a seamless, secure bridge between your document repository and Vincent. By moving files directly cloud-to-cloud, you maintain a secure chain of custody, ensure strict data governance, and accelerate your workflow by accessing your NetDocuments storage without leaving the Vincent interface.

### Step-by-Step Guide

#### Step 1: Open the Document Uploader

In any workflow that allows document uploads (such as "Analyze a Contract" or "Collections"), click the **'Add Documents'** button.

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

#### Step 2: Select NetDocuments

From the dropdown menu, select **'Upload from NetDocuments'**.

#### Step 3: Authenticate via ndConnect

A pop-up window will appear displaying the standard NetDocuments login screen. Enter your credentials to authorize access.

* **Note:** Vincent does not store your password; authentication happens directly with NetDocuments.

#### Step 4: Select and Import Files

You will see the familiar NetDocuments interface. Browse your Cabinets, Workspaces, or Filters to locate your documents.

1. Select the specific files you wish to analyze.
2. Click **Import** to pull them into Vincent.

### Best Practices & Pro Tips

* **Permission Inheritance:** Vincent automatically respects your firm's existing security model. You will only see and be able to select files for which you have explicit access in NetDocuments.
* **One-Way Import:** This is a "read-only" action. Vincent creates a copy for analysis; it **does not** alter, move, or delete your original source files in NetDocuments.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Selection Limits:** You can select up to **50 files per batch**. If you need to analyze more, you can add them in subsequent batches. Importing full Workspaces or Folders in a single click is not currently supported.
