What's New: OneDrive Folder Browser, SharePoint Drives, and Smarter Duplicates
Browse OneDrive folders interactively, import from SharePoint drives, and smarter per-collection duplicate handling with cross-collection file linking.
A set of improvements this week to how lawyers bring documents into Sputnik and how Sputnik handles files that appear in multiple places.
OneDrive and SharePoint Import
Importing documents from OneDrive got a major upgrade. Instead of typing folder paths, lawyers can now browse their OneDrive folders interactively — navigate into subfolders, see what's inside, and select exactly what to import. For teams using SharePoint, Sputnik now lets you pick which SharePoint drive to import from, so you can pull documents from shared team libraries alongside your personal OneDrive.
Smarter Duplicate Handling
Previously, Sputnik blocked the same document from being uploaded anywhere in a case — even if lawyers needed it filed in two different collections. Now, duplicate detection works per collection. Upload the same document to two different procedural steps and both copies are kept. Upload it twice to the same collection and the duplicate is caught.
When the same file does exist in multiple collections, Sputnik links them together and shows a notice on the file detail page pointing to the other copies. One file, multiple places, fully connected.
Case Role Setting
Cases now have a role field — claimant or respondent — so Sputnik knows which side your team is on. This helps the AI assistant give more relevant analysis and better-targeted draft responses.
