This instruction inserts another HotDocs Model into the document currently being assembled. When HotDocs encounters an insert instruction, it immediately processes the instruction and inserts the model into the current document. If there are variables to be answered, HotDocs presents them before finishing the interview of the main document.
Often an organization’s documents will include sections that are used frequently, such as company letterhead or attorney information blocks. Rather than recreate these parts of a document each time you automate a template, you can save just the letterhead or the information block as its own template and then use an insert instruction to include it in the models that require it. For example, let's say you have a specific attorney information block you use in pleadings. You would create a model that contains only the attorney information and then use the insert instruction to insert it:
[if:AttorneyInformationRequired:[insert:"Attorney Information Block.docx"]
