My Simplifile Toolbar Tip Sheet

My Simplifile toolbar

The new My Simplifile toolbar consolidates a number of Simplifile features into a single consistent location in the upper-right corner of your screen. Each page will include some features across all pages, while some will also have some unique options that apply only to that page.
