The Merge Documents option is used to combine multiple related Documents into one document.

 

hmtoggle_arrow1Remove Document

This option is used to delete a document, to delete a document you must give a reason for the deletion, and you can select if you want to permanently delete the document. If you don't select the permanently delete document option, the document will be sent to the recycle bin in LiveFile, where it can be restored at a later date, if needed.

There are two additional file operations that are not on the document operations menu, but are available on the right click menu, these options are detailed below:

 

hmtoggle_arrow1Send Documents

On this send document screen you can select which client the document is being sent to, and enter some notes relating to why the document is being sent out.
