  • Click the Add Workpaper add workpaper button button to add external documents to the engagement binder. Workpapers are added to the top level of the engagement binder by default.

  • You can add password protected documents to the engagement binder.
    • Each time you open a password protected document in the Preview portlet, the application prompts you to enter the password for that document.
    • You cannot send password protected PDFs via Source Document Processing.
