      Importing Evidence in the LIT SUITE

      Store case files locally to ensure reliable access, minimize data use, and avoid delays caused by cloud storage dependencies. Import supported file types to get the most out of your app experience.

      TrialPad supports importing documents from a variety of locations, including On My iPad, iCloud Drive, USB drives, and third-party cloud providers. For optimal reliability and offline access, it is recommended to store and manage your case files in the On My iPad location. For more information, please review: Changing the Storage to On My iPad

      When you launch any LIT SUITE app, Apple’s Document Manager appears. The sidebar shows available storage locations. This location is where the case file will be stored. For more information, please review: Creating a New Case File on Your iPad or Creating a New Case File on Your Mac
