✓Yes◐Limited◔Basic✕NoNot listedVia Zapier / n8nVia API + n8n

“Limited” means the feature is partial, restricted to a higher tier, or a paid add-on. “Not listed” means we couldn’t find it in the vendor’s public materials. “Basic” means a simpler version of the feature: for package assembly, the vendor doesn’t document the full toolset (table of contents, exhibit sheets, page numbering, cover sheet, drag-and-drop ordering, instant renumbering, custom footer, section headings, exhibit label styles and templates). “Via Zapier / n8n” and “Via API + n8n” are capabilities Prima.Law customers build with Prima’s integrations rather than native features. *Needs live demo verification.
