Space Admin
Harvey introduces the Space Admin role for Spaces, giving Connection Admins a way to delegate day-to-day Space management like membership, requests, roles, and settings without broad org-wide access. Existing Space Leads are automatically moved into the new role.
The Space Admin role is now available within Harvey’s permission model for Spaces.
Space Admin is a new role in Harvey's permission model for Spaces, sitting between Connection Admin and Space Collaborator. It lets Connection Admins delegate day-to-day Space management — membership, requests, roles, and settings — to a trusted user without granting org-wide access.
Note: Existing Space Leads will be automatically assigned the Space Admin role with this release.
Why it Matters
Connection Admins at organizations with multiple active Spaces can face overhead managing join requests and user access across every matter or engagement. Previously, there was no way to delegate that operational work without granting broader admin access.
The Space Admin role closes that gap. A Connection Admin can now designate a trusted person (such as a matter lead, paralegal, or legal ops coordinator) to run a specific Space day-to-day, while retaining full governance at the connection level.
How to Use
When you create a new Space, you are automatically assigned the role of Space Admin. Additionally, a Connection Admin or existing Space Admin can assign the role using the Space’s invite modal or through the External Collaboration settings page.
Using the Invite Modal
- Open the Space you want to assign an admin for.
- Select Invite.
- Find the user you want to designate as Space Admin.
- Select the role drop-down menu and choose Space Admin.
Using the External Collaboration Settings Page
- Go to Settings → External Collaboration.
- Select Spaces, then find the Space you want to assign an admin for.
- Select Users.
- Find the user you want to designate as Space Admin.
- Select the role drop-down menu and choose Space Admin.
Managing your Space
Once a user has been given the Space Admin role, they can:
- Approve or deny join requests via Spaces → Requests
- Invite users to the Space
- Adjust user roles and remove users within the Space
- (Hosting-side only) Configure Space settings via the Customize option in the Space header
FAQs
Q: What's the difference between Space Admin and Connection Admin?
A Connection Admin manages an entire external relationship (a Connection) and all the Spaces within it. A Space Admin is scoped to a single Space — they can manage that Space's members and settings, but cannot act across other Spaces or establish new external connections.
Q: Can someone on the external (client or counterparty) side be made a Space Admin?
No. Each organization controls its own roles within a Space. A law firm cannot assign a Space Admin role to someone at a client company, or vice versa.
Q: Can a Space Admin invite external collaborators from a new organization?
No. Space Admins can only add people to a Space once the external connection between the two organizations has already been established by a Connection Admin. They cannot initiate new cross-organization connections.

US Case Law Knowledge Source
Harvey adds a new US Case Law data source that brings millions of U.S. cases into the platform for faster legal research, jurisdictional filtering, and in-product case viewing across workflows, Workflow agents, and the Word Add-In.
Power legal research workflows with access to public US case law data.
Note: This update will roll out in phases. You’ll see the changes in your workspace by June 24th, 2026.
What’s New
We’ve added a new US Case Law data source in Harvey to provide comprehensive U.S. case law coverage. With this addition, Harvey now includes millions of U.S. cases available at no cost, streamlining research workflows and reducing the need to switch between external tools.
This coverage includes:
- Federal and state appellate courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, state supreme courts, and intermediate appellate courts
- Federal district courts across all jurisdictions
- State trial courts in major jurisdictions, including California, Delaware, and others
- Federal and state statutes and regulations, accessible through Harvey’s U.S. public knowledge source and web search
Why it Matters
With this US Case Law knowledge source, you can conduct legal research and receive results grounded in relevant court opinions—all within a single platform. You can filter and search across specific jurisdictions, view full case text directly in Harvey, and incorporate case law into custom Workflow agents and the Word Add-In.
The US Case Law knowledge source supports key platform capabilities, including jurisdictional filtering, Multi-KS querying, Deep Analysis, integration with Agent Builder, and in-platform case viewing.
How to Use
Learn how to use this knowledge source in our US Case Law article.
FAQs
Q: Is US Case Law be automatically enabled for all workspaces?
Yes, this is a free offering that customers will receive by default. Admins can always choose to adjust knowledge sources enabled in their workspace under settings.
Q: Is the US Case Law knowledge source meant to be a full replacement for other legal research databases?
No, this is meant to be a complement to other research tools users rely on. Generally, users can use the US Case Law knowledge source for initial queries, as well as embedding in other Harvey platform features outside of Assistant.
Q:What are known limitations of the knowledge source?
The US Case Law knowledge source does not contain unpublished opinions and may have thinner coverage for certain state court decisions. The Ask LexisNexis integration will continue to provide the most comprehensive case coverage, along with Shepard's® citations.

Support for PST Files
Harvey adds direct .pst file uploads in Vault and Assistant, automatically extracting, indexing, and preparing emails and attachments for search and analysis. Legal teams can work across large Outlook archives without preprocessing, with rollout continuing in phases.
Harvey now supports direct .pst file uploads in Vault and Assistant, automatically extracting, indexing, and preparing emails and attachments for search and analysis.
Note: This update will roll out in phases. You’ll see the changes in your workspace by June 17th, 2026.
What's New
Harvey now supports direct .pst file uploads in both Vault and Assistant conversations. Once uploaded, Harvey will automatically extract and index every email in the PST archive, preserving Outlook folder structures and processing attachments (including ZIP files).
Why it Matters
Legal teams routinely receive client email archives as .pst file exports for investigations, discovery, due diligence, and internal reviews. With native PST support, lawyers can drop an archive directly into Vault or an Assistant conversation and immediately work across thousands of emails without any preprocessing. This eliminates a common bottleneck in matters where time-sensitive access to complete email history is critical.
How to Use
In Vault:
- Navigate to the relevant Vault project and upload your .pst file as you would any other document.
- After uploading, Harvey will automatically extract all emails in the background. This may take a few seconds to several minutes depending on archive size.
- Once extraction is complete, a new subfolder will appear named after your PST file, containing each email as an individual file.
- The extracted emails are now ready to query. The original .pst file remains in your folder for reference but is not queryable.
In Assistant:
- Upload your .pst file directly into an Assistant conversation.
- Harvey will extract and process the emails in the background.
- Once processing is complete, the original .pst file will be replaced by the extracted emails, which you can query across immediately.
Notes & Limitations
- Email attachments are preserved and extracted automatically, including the contents of any ZIP files.
- Extracted emails count toward your Vault project's file limit. If the limit would be exceeded, extraction is skipped entirely.
- Harvey supports .pst files up to 4 GB.

Bulk Upload Prompts in Library
Harvey adds bulk prompt uploads to Library, letting admins import up to 500 prompts at once from a CSV instead of creating them one by one. The release includes a Bulk Upload button, guided upload steps, and a downloadable CSV template for easier prompt library management.
Library admins can now upload up to 500 prompts at a time to their Library using a CSV file, replacing manual one-at-a-time prompt creation.
What's New
Harvey's Library now supports bulk prompt uploads. Library admins can upload up to 500 prompts at once using a formatted CSV file, rather than adding prompts one at a time.
Key additions in this release include:
- A Bulk Upload button in the Library's Prompts tab
- Step-by-step in-product instructions surfaced during the upload workflow
- A downloadable CSV template to guide correct formatting
Why It Matters
Building out a prompt library at scale previously required admins to create and add each prompt one at a time. Bulk prompt upload eliminates that bottleneck. Admins can now prepare, review, and upload an entire prompt set in a single workflow, making large-scale Library prompt management significantly faster.
How to Use
Navigate to the Library and select the Prompts tab.
Click the Bulk Upload button.
Click Download CSV template and fill it out with your prompt data.
Drag and drop the completed CSV file into the upload area, or use the file picker.
Submit the file to upload all of your prompts at once.
Notes & Limitations
- Access: Only Library admins can access Bulk Upload. Standard users do not see this option.
- CSV file size limit: 1 MB per upload.
- Prompt limit: Up to 500 prompts per CSV file. For larger prompt libraries, consider splitting your content across multiple uploads.
- Format: Use Harvey’s downloadable template to avoid formatting errors.
FAQs
What happens if my file has formatting errors?
Harvey will surface errors and missing required fields during the upload flow so that you can review and correct them before proceeding. Use the downloadable CSV template as your starting point to minimize formatting issues.

The Release Report: May 2026
Clio adds Vincent inside Microsoft Word, full-length legal document translation, inline cited sources for agentic research, web search beyond the Clio Library, and agentic search across matter collections, expanding legal AI workflows across drafting and research.
May brings Vincent into Microsoft Word, a workflow for full-length document translation, multi-step research with every cited source surfaced inline, and the open web as a complementary layer to the Clio Library. Vincent also reaches further into matter collections, with agentic search across firm-curated documents. Here’s what’s new.
April’s releases sharpened Vincent’s core experience with agentic execution, citation safeguards, and natural-language access to thirty years of SEC filings. May’s releases extend Vincent’s range. Clio for Word brings Vincent into the Microsoft Word sidebar with native track changes. Translate Documents handles full-length legal documents end-to-end. Agentic research surfaces every cited source in a new side panel. Web search extends grounding beyond the Clio Library when a query calls for it. And Vincent can now agentically search across matter collections during multi-step research.
Clio for Word: Legal AI inside Microsoft Word
Most legal work happens in Microsoft Word, not in a chat window. Until now, using Vincent meant breaking the drafting flow to switch tabs, ask a question, or pull a citation.
Clio for Word in beta, brings Vincent directly into the Word sidebar. Vincent reads the active document in full, including comments and existing redlines, and proposes edits using native Word Track Changes.
- Edits as native track changes: Every suggestion lands as a redline that attorneys can accept or reject using the same workflow they already use with colleagues and opposing counsel.
- Conversational document review: Ask Vincent to identify risks, inconsistencies, missing provisions, or structural issues without leaving Word.
- Draft from a blank page: Describe the situation, generate a first draft directly in Word, and iterate from there.
Translate Documents: Full-length legal translation, end-to-end
Pasting a long legal document into a generic chat usually ends one of two ways: the output cuts off partway through, or the model interrupts mid-document to ask if it should continue. Neither is acceptable when the qualifying language in a survival clause or jurisdictional carve-out matters as much as the prose around it.
The new Translate Documents workflow handles full-length translation end-to-end. Upload one or more documents, pick a target language up front, and Vincent works through the file section by section in the background, returning one complete, polished translation.
- Language flexible: Accepts regional variants like English UK and Brazilian Portuguese. Vincent asks up front and re-prompts if the request is ambiguous.
- Built for length: No size limits, no chunking, no “do you want me to continue?” interruptions.
- One-click handoff: Upload, choose a language, get the translation. No manual stitching at the end.
Agentic legal research: Every cited source, surfaced inline
Vincent’s agentic research plans queries, gathers sources, and synthesizes answers across the Clio Library. Until now, the sources powering each answer lived inline in the response, harder to scan when a session ran long.
The new Cited Sources Tray surfaces every case, statute, and authority Vincent retrieves during agentic research in a clean side panel. Attorneys can open the tray and return to it at any point in the conversation. Each question in a session has its own cited sources view, so it’s easy to navigate between sources without losing your place.
Answers your team can trace back to their source are answers they can act on with confidence.
Web search: A complementary research layer for the Clio Library
The Clio Library is Vincent’s foundation: a curated, citation-quality corpus of cases, statutes, regulations, and commentary that every Vincent research and drafting capability is built on. Some research questions, though, need information that lives beyond the library: regulator guidance from this morning, news coverage of an active matter, an analyst note just released.
Web search brings the open web into Vincent as a complementary layer alongside the library.
Vincent always prioritizes Clio Library sources first; web search supplements the record when a query calls for materials outside the library. Web sources are clearly identified in the Cited Sources Tray as a distinct source type, so attorneys always know what they’re working with.
For a securities litigator working a fraud-on-the-market claim, that means pulling a defendant company’s recent earnings call and trade-press coverage into the same response that grounds the controlling precedent from the library. For regulatory counsel, it means citing an agency release from this morning alongside the statutory framework that governs it.
- Off by default: Web search is opt-in.
- Per-conversation control: Toggle on or off for each research session.
- Admin governance: Firm administrators can enable or disable web search at the organization level.
- Zero data retention: Research stays within your secure, governed environment. Contractual zero-retention guarantees ensure no queries are used for model training or retained by third-party providers.
Agentic collections: Matter-aware reasoning, at any scale
Collections already let firms group documents around a matter and run Vincent across them. Now Vincent can search collections agentically, reaching into them alongside its other research tools to pull the relevant clauses, exhibits, and precedent from the matter at hand.
Powering that is Turbopuffer, a vector search engine purpose-built for enterprise scale. Vector search is the technology that lets Vincent find content by meaning rather than by exact keyword: every document in a collection is converted into a mathematical representation (an embedding), and queries are matched against those representations to surface the most semantically relevant passages. Nothing changes in how teams interact with Vincent; the improvements work entirely behind the scenes.
Your data stays within your existing regional environment. Turbopuffer stores only the mathematical representations used for search, never the text of the documents themselves.
That’s the May release. Several notable updates are already queued for June, with new capabilities coming to Vincent and continued expansion of Clio for Word. See you next month.

Measure and Manage Collaboration in Shared Spaces
Harvey adds Shared Spaces Analytics, External Collaboration Management, and a redesigned Share Modal to help legal teams track shared work, manage external access with confidence, and strengthen client collaboration with real-time usage insights.
Legal teams can now see exactly how shared work is being used, govern who has access, and use that data to deepen client relationships and drive better outcomes.
More than 90% of Legal teams using Harvey have already created their first Shared Space, with hundreds of firm–client pairs actively collaborating on active matters. These teams use Harvey Shared Spaces to organize and share resources across a matter lifecycle both internally between practice groups, and externally among in-house teams, outside counsel, and other collaborators.
For Harvey customers, Spaces has become the collaboration layer for legal work. And now, Shared Spaces Analytics give legal teams visibility into collaborative use and the governance infrastructure that organizations require to manage external access with confidence.
Collaboration Drives Outcomes
Promising AI across matters was a competitive edge, but now teams need to prove ROI. Spaces Analytics gives both sides of a collaboration the same concrete picture: active users, workflow runs per matter, and how shared resources are used. Firms use that data to show clients the value they're delivering, deepen relationships, and win new business. In-house teams use it to see past the pitch, understand how each firm is putting AI to work, and prioritize the ones driving real transformation.
When a managing partner asks how clients are uploading their discovery documents into shared Vaults or when a legal ops leader measures engagement with an agent Spaces Analytics has the answers.
Metrics on active users, queries run, workflow executions, and review table activity are all surfaced in a real-time dashboard in Harvey that’s filterable by date, organization, user, and resource.
Shared Spaces Analytics helps teams understand which shared resources are driving the most engagement, where a client relationship is gaining traction or supporting outcomes, and where attention may be needed to move work forward. All without exposing early drafts, separate confidential material or other resources not appropriate for that particular environment.
Whether you're a law firm measuring adoption of a shared due diligence workflow, or an in-house team collaborating with your business stakeholders, Space Analytics gives you the information to invest more in what is driving outcomes.
Manage Collaboration With Confidence
Scaling external collaboration in Harvey requires knowing what's happening across every Space, being able to delegate oversight safely, and meeting the audit expectations enterprise organizations require across thousands of matters and relationships.
External Collaboration Management gives admins a dedicated view of every externally shared Space. This includes metrics on user access, permission levels, and time since last use. A full activity log captures every access grant, resource interaction, and key event.
For IT admins and CIOs at compliance-sensitive organizations, this provides the ability to answer an audit question, onboard a new external collaborator, or review who has access across every Space.
One Sharing Experience Across Every Harvey Resource
Legal work in Harvey lives across vaults, threads, workflow agents, playbooks, and review tables. The redesigned Share Modal gives teams one consistent way to share these resources with clearer recipient search, explicit internal and external labeling, and transparent, consistent permission controls.
The sharing experience is fast, clear, and easy so teams can focus on their legal work.
Built for the Way Legal Teams Collaborate
Space Analytics, External Collaboration Management, and the redesigned Share Modal are designed for the specific demands of legal collaboration. Shared work must be treated sensitively and access needs to be auditable. As a whole, these tools allow legal teams to demonstrate value to clients and stakeholders more easily.

Filevine Launches LOIS Console: AI that Runs the Firm
Filevine launches the LOIS console, a legal AI system that helps firms run work across every matter, write results back to the system of record, and automate tasks like deadlines, calendars, documents, contact updates, and reports.
SALT LAKE CITY — June 2, 2026 — Filevine today launched the Legal Operating Intelligence System (LOIS) console, AI that runs the modern law firm. Unlike legal AI tools that only accelerate a single lawyer on a single task, LOIS console empowers entire firms to run AI agents across every matter. It writes results back into the firm's system of record and then executes actions on the firm's behalf. Informed by the structure, workflows and patterns of more than 40 million legal matters, LOIS console is the only AI capable of coordinating the actual work of running a law firm, and automating away the friction slowing down legal work.
LOIS console is the first legal AI that goes from reading your matters to working on them. The market has been stuck in read-only with chatbots, summarizations, and analyses prone to hallucination, and worse, to silent omissions. LOIS closes the loop: it writes back to the firm's system of record to set tasks, move deadlines, update calendars, generate documents, refresh contact records, and run reports. A lawyer can ask LOIS which open matters need a demand letter this week and have the drafts waiting for review within minutes.
This is newly possible because LOIS console is built on something no general-purpose AI can replicate—Filevine's structured legal matter graph shaped by a decade of legal workflow intelligence across 6,000+ firms. We’ve paired this data with a pre-processing pipeline that empowers LOIS to read potentially millions of documents in a single analysis. And where competitors stop at "here's what we found," LOIS proves what wasn't found. In legal work, completeness is what matters. LOIS can read and write it all.
"The practice of law is not the practice of siloed tasks,” commented Ryan Anderson, CEO and Founder of Filevine. “For ten years, we have watched lawyers get better tools, but tools do not run firms and tools do not win cases. We built the AI that does both." Find more of Ryan's takeaways on LOIS console on the Filevine blog.
LOIS has been live with select customers:
At Kopka Law Group, Senior Attorney Kyle Hall started saving days of waiting: “I can take a 5,000-page claim file and sort it down to a couple hundred pages of tailored summaries. It gives me a forest view instead of getting lost in the trees, and it lets me get into cases earlier instead of waiting two or three days for a human summary.”
At Smith and Lee Personal Injury Lawyers, Partner Ryan Lee saw how LOIS changes legal work: “Filevine understands what AI can do to case management platforms, including their own. The endgame doesn’t seem to be trying to bolt AI onto old workflows. They're trying to rebuild around AI from the ground up.”
A mass torts attorney and Filevine user since 2020, Kyle C. Usner stopped hunting through documents by hand: "Instead of scrolling through a non-OCR document doing Control+F, LOIS finds the pathology reports and points me directly to them. My paralegals and I always click back to verify the source. That's what gives us confidence. It's not making things up."
A firm running on LOIS could be a hundred-attorney mass tort practice coordinating discovery across thousands of plaintiffs or an in-house team of six tracking risk across an enterprise. LOIS console can handle it all.
Firms and legal teams can start with LOIS console today. Load cases in, try it out, and see results right away. To request access or schedule a demonstration, visit www.filevine.com/lois.

Move From Opinions to Final Outputs With US Case Law
Harvey adds US Case Law knowledge source, giving lawyers access to over 9 million opinions from CourtListener for faster research, sharper analysis, and cited drafting in Harvey and Word. It also supports single-prompt searches with uploaded files and custom agents for repeatable workflows.
Lawyers can produce sharper insights and drafts with US case law content at their fingertips in Harvey.
Lawyers spend 19% of their time researching case law. When legal research tools are fragmented, that time is spent on iterative manual search and context-switching rather than substantive analysis.
Harvey's US Case Law knowledge source gives lawyers direct access to millions of opinions, so high-quality research, analysis, and drafting happen in one place.
Find the right cases and start drafting faster
With the US Case Law knowledge source in Harvey, lawyers can quickly answer targeted inquiries and dissect hypotheticals. Harvey’s responses include direct citations to the source, so that lawyers can validate results and accuracy. Case content can be viewed directly alongside results, with no separate window or tool required – helping lawyers drill into the original material and ensure their analysis and recommendations are sound. Lawyers can use the US Case Law knowledge source to conduct early-stage analysis, and then turn to premium case content for high-stakes matters within the same platform.
Lawyers can also search across case law and their own uploaded files in a single prompt. For example, when preparing an initial defense strategy, a legal team can pull in relevant evidence and documents from a vault and analyze their own fact patterns against existing precedent. Additionally, a lawyer can draft sections of a memo by synthesizing case content with other relevant regulatory sources like the United States knowledge source, so that takeaways for the client are clear.
Edit documents in Word with direct case insights
Lawyers can pull in court opinion insights and ask questions directly in the Word Add-In, making it easier to reference relevant case law and pressure test arguments while drafting. This means that litigators drafting motions or briefs can still ensure results are grounded without interrupting their flow or switching tools.
Build repeatable research workflows for your team
Lawyers running high-volume work can embed the US Case Law knowledge source in custom agents through Agent Builder. For example, an in-house team can set up an employment investigations workflow and embed relevant state case law as a reference point for every run. Additionally, a law firm can create an agent to aid with trial prep by connecting witness testimony insights and inconsistencies to relevant legal doctrine, speeding up analysis and strengthening the resulting strategy. This allows lawyers to scale repeatable work across matters, while helping drive more consistent results.
Across research and drafting, the US Case Law knowledge source helps lawyers reference opinions, validate arguments, and quickly move towards drafts.
The US Case Law knowledge source includes over 9 million opinions from CourtListener. The US Case Law knowledge source is available starting June 3rd on a rolling basis to Harvey customers.

Opus 4.8 Now Available in Harvey
Harvey adds Opus 4.8 to Model Selector across Assistant, Vault, and Workflow Builder, bringing improved legal accuracy, better output calibration, and stronger self-review for drafting. The update gives users more control while Auto mode still picks the right model for most workflows.
Opus 4.8 is now available in Harvey’s Model Selector across Assistant, Vault, and Workflow Builder.
We’ve added Opus 4.8 to the model selector in Harvey. Opus 4.8 builds on Opus 4.7 with gains in legal accuracy, output quality, and self-review behavior.
Learn more about our evaluation of this model in our blog post for Opus 4.8.
Opus 4.8 delivers improvements across three areas:
- Legal accuracy: More reliable identification of case captions, parties, statutory provisions, and applicable doctrinal frameworks.
- Output calibration: Responses are better sized for the task, not over- or under-explained.
- Self-review behavior: Opus 4.8 often reviews and revises its own outputs before returning an answer, which leads to stronger performance on drafting tasks.
For most workflows, Auto mode continues to select the right model for you, but model selection is available if you want more direct control.
This update ensures Harvey adapts to different types of legal work without changing how you normally use it.
Open Model Selector in Assistant, Vault, or Workflow Builder to select Opus 4.8 from the list of models. Admins can manage access through Access Control & Permission Management.
Important: Both models require the Model Selector; Opus 4.8 is only available with Claude permissions enabled. If you don’t see the Model Selector, contact your workspace admin or Customer Success Manager.
