Assemble Multiple Documents

You can select multiple templates or clause libraries, and then start one assembly process that will address each template. Each template or clause library will create a separate document, using the same answer file, unless you select a different answer file during the interview. (See Switch Answer Files During Assembly.)

To assemble multiple documents

1. At the HotDocs library window, press Ctrl or Shift, then select all the templates and clause libraries you want to assemble.
2. Click Assemble. The assembly queue status box (located in the status bar of the assembly window) displays how many assemblies are waiting, and the Answer File dialog box appears.
3. Select an answer file and click OK. (Select an Answer File for Assembly.) The assembly window appears.
   • If the item is a template, the first answer-gathering dialog is shown. (See Assemble a Text or Form Document.)
   • If the item is a clause library, the clause library is shown. (See Select Clauses During an Interview.)
4. Provide answers or select clauses for the interview.
5. After completing the interview, the End of Interview dialog notifies you that other assemblies are ready to begin.
6. Close the assembly window, and begin assembling the next document.

The assembly queue and assembly queue status box (located in both the library and the assembly window status bars) can help you track the assembly of each document. See Use the Assembly Queue for details.
