The top-left hamburger menu contains app-wide settings and actions. Click or tap the permanent three-line Hamburger menu icon at the top-left. Scroll inside the drawer if some items are below the visible area.

The app name and version appear at the top. The account shortcut stays at the bottom.

  • GUI Mode changes the app’s colors. Choose a preset or edit a custom theme, save named themes, and adjust Canvas/PenPad node backgrounds. See GUI Mode.
  • Auto-hide Doc/Canvas Toolbar controls whether document and Canvas/PenPad toolbars hide after a delay. See Toolbar auto-hide.
  • Doc Structure Index shows or hides the left-pane document index panel. The setting is saved across app sessions. See Document Structure Index and AI Legal Index.
  • Related Scope chooses which documents may appear in the document viewer’s Related list. The choices are Within Doc, Within Case, and Global Lib.. Within Case is the default. See Related passages.

Toolbar auto-hide

  1. Open the hamburger menu and turn on Auto-hide Doc/Canvas Toolbar.
  2. Under Auto-hide in, choose 5s, 8s, or 10s.
  3. Return to the document or Canvas/PenPad. Its toolbar slides out of view after the delay.
  4. To show a hidden toolbar again, click or tap the small downward-arrow notch at the top-center of that pane.
  5. Turn the switch off to keep the toolbars visible.

Auto-hide starts off, with 8s as its default delay. Delay buttons are unavailable while the switch is off. These choices apply to the current app session; reopening the app restores the defaults.

Pointer activity on a visible toolbar or its pane restarts the countdown. A hidden toolbar is revealed through its notch. Document View expands into the top space released by its hidden toolbar. Where a pane provides a Close control, a small Close button remains available while its toolbar is hidden. Auto-hide can pause while an open dialog or an active control needs the toolbar to stay visible.

This setting affects the document and Canvas/PenPad toolbars, including their full-screen views. The permanent top-left app controls and the document’s page scrollbar are separate controls.

Screenshot placeholder: Auto-hide switch with 5s, 8s, and 10s choices, beside a document pane whose hidden toolbar can be revealed using its top-center notch.

Use Help while working

Select Help, then choose a topic or search for a word or phrase. Links inside a topic open related HELP; the back and forward arrows revisit pages you opened.

  • Float Help makes it movable inside the app. Drag its Help title/handle to reposition it.
  • Dock Help returns it to the docked panel.
  • Minimize Help collapses it to a small Help chip. Select the chip to restore it with its place and history retained.
  • Close Help closes the panel and leaves your workspace available.

HELP is bundled for offline use. External web links, where present, open in the device’s browser.

Select Close to return to the workspace.

The same About box appears briefly when the app starts and closes automatically.
