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.

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.
