2. Open the matter you need to work on.

   

3. The matter detail page will open; click on "Updates" on the bottom tabs.

   

4. The main Updates screen will show all existing updates. 

   Use the drop-down menu on the right to filter between Client and Vendor updates, or updates from All Sources. Update sources will be marked on the right-hand side of the page. Use the Search Updates field to search through the updates. 

   

5. To add an update, fill in your message in the "Add to Updates" field.

   You can use the formatting bar to customize your message. Click Save to save your update for later or Save Update to save the update.
