Overview

Work groups enable you to organize templates uploaded to HotDocs Advance into groups. This enables you to give your uploaded templates a logical organizational structure within Advance, reflecting how the templates are used within your organization. For example, you could use work groups to organize template by department, topic area, or use-case. You also use work groups to control user access permissions to templates. Template users can only access templates in work groups to which their user groups are assigned.

You must have a Site Administrator or Content Administrator role to manage work groups
