LINK Feature Roundup

Welcome to the LINK App Feature Roundup, where you can find information on new, enriching features of the LINK App. This page is updated quarterly with new feature highlights. You can learn more about each feature by clicking the links to the Quick Tips on each.


2025 Q1

Import a Newly Created Document from a Microsoft Office App

Now you can create a new document in one of the Microsoft Office Apps (like Office M365, Word, Excel, or PowerPoint) and import that document to either LINK files or your DMS.

Check-in a File Shared in a Teams Channel to DMS

There are multiple ways you can check in a file shared in a Teams Channel to your DMS workspace. The simplest way allows you to do so from within the LINK app, saving you from having to open the Teams app separately.

UI Enhancements for Email

There are multiple improvements to the look of the email UI. The most noticeable differences are a redesign of the address selector (when you are writing an email and selecting email addresses) and a redesign of the attachments overlay that pops up when you are attaching a file to an email.

With the new Attachment Overlay, easily navigate all available file repositories, including iManage, NetDocuments, OneDrive, Emails, Notes, and more. You can add multiple files at once by using the multi-select feature – simply tap the checkboxes next to the files you want to attach. You can also choose the format of each file you attach.

UI Enhancements for DMS

There are a few navigation improvements in our iManage app. First, we have added quick action buttons to send emails or edit a file in iManage. Second, we have added a button at the top-left that allows you to quickly bring up the root of the iManage work area so that you can switch from wherever you are browsing to Recent Docs, My Matters, etc. We’ve also added a list of recent items to the homepage of iManage and recent and favorite items to the homepage of NetDocuments.

Microsoft Outlook Configuration Features

Our LINK Email integrates with Microsoft Exchange and has many beneficial features, including the ability to open NRLs, establish predictive email filing to DMS, and more. Some law firms have opted for a configuration of LINK that instead uses the Microsoft Outlook app for email. In these cases, we implement the “open in hook” to connect the MS Outlook app to the LINK app. The following are common workflows that illustrate this configuration.

Open an NRL in the Outlook App

Email Multiple Files via the Outlook App

Import an Attachment from Email to iManage

Compare an Attachment to a File in iManage


2024 Q4

Emailing a File in Multiple Formats

In LINK you can email a document as a copy of the original format, as a PDF, or as link (NRL). In addition, you can easily attach multiple versions of the same file – for example, a PDF and NRL link – to your email.

LINK Notes App Sync to DMS or OneDrive

LINK Notes is our built-in application for taking and organizing notes. Now with a new streamlined UI, LINK Notes can easily be synced to DMS, OneDrive, or Windows File Shares per your IT team’s configuration.  

Share a File to a Teams Channel from DMS

The use of Microsoft Teams is widespread and growing among law firms, as it allows users to share files and work together in real time. With LINK’s DMS and Teams integration, you can easily share a file from your DMS to a Teams channel, making collaboration simple.

Email Search Filters

With our latest email update, search your email more accurately and faster with filters for From, To, and Any. You can search emails with a partial keyword or quickly narrow your search by sender or recipient.

Send Redline Documents in Various Formats

After running a document comparison in LINK, you can email the original, modified, and redlined versions in Word and PDF formats.

Compare a Word Attachment in Email to a Sent Version

With LINK you can run a redline between an email attachment that you receive and the version of that attachment you sent previously. For example, if you email a client a document to review and edit and they send the file back with their edits, you can easily compare your original “sent file” with the new edited file.

Access Files in Teams from LINK

Our integration with Teams allows easy access to files in Teams from the LINK App. The teams and channels you’ve set up in Teams also appear in your DMS workspace – just look for the Teams folder.

Metadata Scrubbing

LINK offers built-in metadata scrubbing as part of our robust security features. Sensitive data from attachments, like social security numbers, are cleaned before transmission for secure collaboration and compliance.
