Frequently Asked Questions
What is Bates numbering and why do courts use it?
Bates numbering stamps every page with a unique sequential identifier, often with a prefix like EXH or the party name. It lets counsel, judges, and witnesses cite an exact page unambiguously, which is essential in large evidence bundles and discovery productions.
Can I set a custom prefix and starting number?
Yes - choose a prefix, starting number, digit padding, and position on the page. If you are producing documents in tranches, start the second tranche where the first ended to keep the sequence continuous.
Are privileged documents safe in this tool?
Yes. Numbering is applied entirely in your browser - case files never reach a server. For privileged or confidential productions, that removes an entire category of exposure that cloud tools create.
Does Bates numbering change the original content?
It overlays stamps in the margin area without altering the document text. Keep your unstamped originals archived; produce the stamped set, so you can re-stamp with different prefixes for different proceedings if needed.
