Export FAQ

Follow

This FAQ answers common questions about exporting data from Nextpoint, including native files, placeholders, confidentiality stamps, export ordering, PDF behavior, and export template setup.


Export Content & Formatting

Images of my Excel files were included, but the native files were not. Why?

This typically occurs when the export template is not configured to include native files or placeholders.

  • Update the PDF Export Template :
    • Select Use native placeholder in lieu of document images in Step 2
    • Select Include under Original Files in Native Format
    • Select the Make Smart Exceptions checkbox

How can I use placeholders for specific file types?

Placeholders are controlled through endorsement templates.

  • Add file extensions to the endorsement template before stamping.
    • In the Numbering Exceptions section, specify file extensions. By default, templates include .xl*, .ppt*, and .csv*.

Why aren’t my confidential stamps appearing on documents?

Confidential stamps are applied at the time of endorsement.

  • If documents were endorsed before the confidential stamp was added, you will need to remove the endorsement and re-endorse the documents for the stamp to appear.

Export Ordering & Structure

How do I order documents chronologically for an export?

To export documents in chronological order, follow these steps:

  1. Locate the document set to include in your export.

Export Templates & Load Files

How do I create an export template?

Export templates define how images, text, natives, and load files are handled.

Create templates in Discovery via Settings > Export/Exchange, or in Litigation under More > Settings.

Templates can be reused to ensure consistent export formatting.

How do I export a load file or index?

Detailed instructions for exporting a load file or index are available here .


PDFs & Search Behavior

Can I search exported PDFs?

PDFs generated by Nextpoint contain document text but are image-based. Searches will locate the correct page, though terms may not be highlighted.

Including text files in your export template provides a searchable alternative where search terms are highlighted.

What does “Export as Individual PDFs” mean?

Exporting as individual PDFs creates one PDF per document, including attachments.

Select documents, choose As Individual PDFs, select an export template, and click Export
