When your brief is ready to file, the AgileBriefs add-in can compile it together with all of its cited exhibits into filing-ready PDFs — no manual assembling of exhibit sets. You do this from the Brief tab in the add-in.
Before you compile
Make sure every exhibit you reference has a citation in the document (the add-in compiles the exhibits that are actually cited). If nothing is cited yet, you'll see "No citations to generate."
Click Refresh Citations so the brief reflects the latest exhibit names and numbers from AgileLaw and your current templates.
Turn on Show Exhibit Numbers if you want provisional exhibit numbers stamped into the citations. Any yellow drafting highlights are removed from the compiled brief automatically.
Choose a Link Mode
Link Mode controls how exhibit references behave in the compiled PDF:
Bookmark — the PDF is produced without clickable hyperlinks to exhibits.
Internal — exhibit links jump to the exhibit within the same combined PDF.
External — two PDFs are produced; the links in the brief open a separate exhibits-only PDF.
Generate the compiled brief
Click Generate Exhibit Set. The add-in uploads your Word document to AgileLaw, converts it, and merges it with all of the cited exhibits. This can take several minutes depending on how many exhibits are involved, so leave the task pane open while it works.
If you've compiled this document before, you'll be asked to confirm Replace Existing Brief? — generating again overwrites the previously compiled version.
When it finishes, a Compiled Brief link appears in the confirmation and on the Brief tab. Open it to view or download the compiled PDF(s) in AgileLaw. Compile again any time you make changes — just refresh your citations first.
