2. Click the Apps tab.
   
3. Click the BrightWorkpapers cog icon to edit the integration.
   
4. In the BrightWorkpapers integration panel, click Create new secret. This will generate a new Access Key ID and Secret Key used to connect to FYI.

Using the Integration

Once you have connected FYI with BrightWorkpapers, you can search for documents to import based on the Client Name, Cabinet and/or Year. Documents can be bulk imported to the same folder, or if required, separate folders selected during the import process.

For detailed step-by-step instructions, refer to the BrightWorkpapers article Upload documents from FYI Docs.

Note: Documents in FYI do not have a live connection to documents within the BrightWorkpapers app. When documents are imported from FYI to BrightWorkpapers it is a static copy of the document. If a document is opened from BrightWorkpapers and edited, the changes will not be reflected in FYI.
