Finalising Documents published to the Osprey Deal Room

Once an agreement has been made in relation to changes to a document, the document is finalised.

Finalising a document will disable the check out option from the Deal Room.

To Finalise a version:

Ensure you have the relevant client and matter selected, then from within Matter History, select the Deal room folder to reveal any published documents.

Right click the document in question and then select ‘Finalize version’.

Click ‘ok’ in the confirmation screen.

If you wish to reverse this action, right click and you will now see the option to ‘Unfinalise version’ with a prompt to confirm once selected.

Any finalised version can then be unpublished from the deal room which in turn, will remove from the deal room altogether.
