What's New: XML File Support, Storyline Controls, and Search Filters That Stick

XML files are now searchable, storylines can be toggled per procedural step, and search filters no longer reset when you page through results.

A handful of improvements this week that make everyday case work smoother.

XML Files Are Now Searchable

Some cases include XML files — structured data exports, financial records, technical reports. Previously these sat in the file list but couldn't be searched. Now Sputnik analyzes XML files directly and makes their content searchable alongside everything else in the case.

Control Storylines Per Procedural Step

Sputnik's storyline feature helps lawyers organize claims into narrative threads. But not every procedural step needs storylines. Now team leads can toggle storylines on or off for each step — keeping the interface clean for steps where they're not relevant.

  • Search filters that stick — Paging through search results on the files page no longer resets your filters. Pick a date range or category, page through results, and everything stays where you set it.
