Questions

What is Bates numbering?

A unique, sequential identifier stamped on every page of legal documents, like ACME000001, so each page can be referenced precisely in discovery and court.

Are my documents uploaded?

No. Numbering happens in your browser, which matters for privileged and confidential material.

Can I continue numbering from an earlier batch?

Yes. Set the start number to the next number after your previous production.
