Quick Documents Overview
A quick document enables you to complete an interview and download a document without saving data to Advance. This is useful if you need to assemble frequently created or simple documents you do not need to revisit.
Once you download the document you create, you will not be able to reopen the interview or retrieve your answers. If you want to store or revisit your documents or collaborate with colleagues you should create a work item.
Overview
Using a quick document ensures that your document, and the answers you enter, are not stored in HotDocs Advance. Quick documents function in contrast to work items, where the interview answers and assembled documents are retained so you can access them later.
No colleagues or administrators will have access to your quick documents and you cannot collaborate on your answer data. Once you assemble and download your document, you will not be able to reopen the interview or access the documents via Advance. Advance does not retain any confidential data relating to your documents.
Quick documents are also useful when you want to assemble a document, such as a cover note or leave application, which, once downloaded, you do not need to revisit.
