In Pleadit, an exhibit reference renumbers itself when you reorder, add, or remove exhibits, so a revision that turns Exhibit A into Exhibit C updates every citation in the document at once.
Demo to add: Reordering exhibits in Pleadit renumbers every reference in the document automatically.
Add an exhibit reference
- Press Cmd+Shift+X to open the evidence picker.
- Pick the file from the case evidence locker and the page (or page range) you're citing.
- Pleadit inserts the reference inline, formatted "Ex. A, p. 3 (PDF p. 63)" by default.
When the exhibits change
- Add a new exhibit, swap a file, drop one, or move a document earlier in the order — whatever the revision, every reference recalculates: letters, exhibit page numbers, and compiled-PDF page numbers, all at once.
- No re-typing, and nothing to hunt down by hand.
Check and export
- Click any reference in the editor to jump to the cited exhibit page.
- In the exported PDF each reference is a working link to the exact page; the exhibit index and tab and cover pages generate automatically.
Notes and limits
- The numbering format ("Ex. A, p. 3 (PDF p. 63)") is configurable per document.
- A reference whose underlying file has been deleted shows as a broken reference rather than a wrong page, so you catch it before filing.
- Evidence is stored locally on your machine.
Common questions
Does reordering exhibits change the page numbers inside each citation too? Yes. Both the page within the exhibit and the page within the compiled PDF recalculate when the order changes.
What happens to a reference if I delete the evidence file it points to? It becomes a broken reference in the editor instead of silently pointing at the wrong page.
See the dynamic exhibit reference system and the auto-generating Table of Authorities, which works the same way for citations.
