What changed

Briefpoint now fully supports Supplemental Responses, enabling litigators to efficiently manage and prepare updated discovery responses as new information becomes available. Rather than editing prior work or tracking supplemental responses manually outside the platform, you can generate a new supplemental document directly in Briefpoint—while keeping prior responses intact and referenceable.

Prior responses remain intact and referenceable
New or updated information can be added easily
Supplemental Responses follow a familiar & structured workflow

How to use it

From the Document List, open the context menu on the originating document and choose Supplement.
Select the specific items to supplement and begin adding responses.
Reference the original response, and any previous supplemental responses in the center column and easily get more information from your client via theclient Bridge, when you're ready; open in Word to finalize.

Notes

Supplementals are created from an originating document (not from other supplementals). All previously created supplemental rounds are visible during drafting for the relevant items. Manually uploading documents to RFPs will be supported shorly. Documents uploaded by clients will be available in Supplemental Response workflows by the end of the month.

FAQ

Can I supplement a supplemental response?

At launch, you create supplements from the original document. When you start a new supplemental round, Briefpoint shows the full history of prior supplements for the relevant items so you can build on what's already been served.

How are supplemental documents organized on the Document List?

Supplemental Response documents appear nested under their originating document. When you sort the list, the originating document and its supplemental "block" move together—while child documents keep their relative order to preserve accurate nesting.

What can clients provide through Bridge?

At launch:
RFAs, Interrogaries & RFPs support text-based responses. Attorneys can review and include the client response with the supplemental response set.

By March 2026 - RFPs support uploaded documents and/or an attestation that they don't have documents (with optional context).

Note: For RFPs, manual document upload inside the supplemental workflow is not included at launch; client documents are collected via Client Doc Upload tasks.
