Overview
This webinar provides administrators with a practical overview of OneLaw’s Document Assembly functionality. It focuses on how administrators can configure and maintain signatures and header and footer stationery and explains how these elements integrate with precedents and templates used by end users.
The session is part two of the Document Assembly webinar series and is designed for firm administrators responsible for setup, configuration, and ongoing maintenance.
Note: While you may still see references to OneAuthor in the software, this terminology is being progressively updated to Document Assembly.

Key Takeaways
- Signatures are stored against individual user profiles and must be uploaded by an administrator.
- Signature permissions (authorised signers and delegated signatures) are centrally managed and automatically reflected across users.
- Signature placeholders in precedents and templates rely on bookmarks and content controls that reference user profile data.
- Multiple signatories can be supported using distinct signature placeholders or structured layouts such as tables.
- Header and footer stationery documents can include logos, text, images, and mapped OneLaw fields such as Client, Matter, and Document ID.
- Only one default stationery document can be applied at a time, but firms can store and switch between multiple stationery options.
- Updates to stationery are applied immediately to any new documents generated using precedents or templates configured to auto-apply stationery.
