Records & documents
Use the record panel to update details, complete dates, manage reminders and see who is handling an obligation.
Record renewal cycles, confirm automatic date rules and retain the context behind each change.
Keep source files beside their dates, review replacements and understand the different upload limits.
Define expected documents and find missing records, missing files and expired dates.
Collect a file through a private upload link, inspect it and approve it as a new or replacement attachment.
Extract suggested details from a PDF or image, then review the fields before creating or updating a record.

Choose who receives deadline reminders, understand the schedule and check delivery on each record.
Add recipients in Account > Contacts so customers, suppliers and colleagues can receive emails without joining the workspace.
Add, remove or replace additional team and contact recipients across a selected or filtered set of records.
Acknowledge a deadline, pause reminders temporarily and choose a backup team member.
Read the next schedule and delivery history, and resolve pending contacts, failures or uncertain results.
Track the earlier date for giving notice as well as the later renewal or end date.
Get renewal and expiry reminders by text on Pro, sent through your own Twilio account. Setup under Account > Notifications.
