With the next version of TurboLaw (version 3.05), we’re finally retiring an old and very rarely used feature – specifically, the “Add Documents to TurboLaw” feature.
Do you remember this window? Probably not.
According to our usage statistics, the “Add Documents” feature is one of the least-used features in the entire program. It was added very early in TurboLaw’s life as a way for you to add your own documents to TurboLaw… but only to the “Blank & Empty” forms list. That is, you couldn’t use this feature to add your own custom templates to TurboLaw – it only let you add what was basically a shortcut to those documents to the blank & empty forms window.
The “Add Documents” option is redundant, so it’s going bye-bye!
Later, we added the “Manage User Templates” feature, which let you actually create your own variations of TurboLaw forms that could be filled out for you (just like TurboLaw’s own documents). Because of this, there isn’t really any reason to have the old “Add Documents” feature around anymore.
Additionally, keeping the “Add Documents” feature had some side effects internally that were preventing us from making some changes and improvements that we wanted to do.
So, after much careful consideration, the “Add Documents to TurboLaw” feature has officially been retired. When version 3.05 is released, this feature will be gone from the program.
If you were one of the few people who used this feature, don’t worry – the documents that you added to TurboLaw using this feature will be transferred out of TurboLaw and put in your “Documents” (or “My Documents”) folder, in a folder called “Old TurboLaw Forms.” You won’t be able to open them from TurboLaw like you used to, but you’ll still have them if you need them.
