General Documents
Distinct from templates, the General Document tab on Thread is where frequently used documents such as ‘terms of service,’ blank forms, or ‘directions to our office’ should be stored. Documents that are added to the General Documents tab cannot be populated with client or matter details, and as such should not be coded using the template designer.
Having too many documents in this tab can start to cause a backlog on Thread. Try not to have more than 250 documents here.Uploading General Documents

2. Drag and drop documents to the box or click the box shown and upload documents from your desktop.
Note: Documents must be less than 300MB in size.

1. Go to the General Document tab.
2. Select the document you want to rename and click Rename on the top pane.
