Creating a data room

Setup a new data room to store and share documents

Create a data room to organise and manage documents within a matter. Once created, you can set up the folder structure, apply permissions, and share it with other users.

Prerequisite: You must be a matter admin to create a data room.


How to create a data room

  1. Open the relevant matter

  2. Click the Create button in the navigation bar

  3. Select Data room from the dropdown menu

  4. Enter a name for the data room

  5. Click Create data room

Your data room will be created. Once created, it will open in a new, empty screen where you can start adding folders and documents.

Good to know: Only matter admins can see the data room when it's created. To make it visible to others, change the data room permissions


What happens next

After creating a data room, you can:

  • Build the folder structure (manually or via import)

  • Apply permissions to control who can access the data room

  • Upload documents when you’re ready

Tip: To keep the data room private while setting it up, apply permissions only once the structure is in place


From the secondary navigation

  1. Navigate to the matter

  2. Hover on Workspace icon within the left-hand navigation menu

  3. Click on Create within the left-hand navigation menu

  4. Click on Data Room
