    Hi Andrea, you can easily upload a PDF file to SimplePractice for your clients to download during the intake. Just visit My Account > Settings > Client Portal > Shared Documents and Files and upload a read-only PDF. Let me know if that helps with your question.

    I see part of this question was answered but she also asked if it's possible to upload a WORD or PDF to integrate with templates? I'm also looking for that answer as well.

    Hi Ally, Word or PDF documents cannot be integrated with SimplePractice's Note and Form templates currently.

    I need to upload Consults from other practitioners (VA) who are referred over to me, BUT NOT for client's eyes.  How can I do this so then I can see them in their electronic file but the client can not see them.

    Hi Teri, you can upload these to the Uploaded Documents of the client's chart. The client cannot access these files unless you explicitly choose to share them with the client through the Share button.

    I am trying to upload my logo.  It keeps telling my the file is too big.  What can I do about this?

    Hi Patricia, you can resize your logo outside of SimplePractice using an image editor, then re-upload it to SimplePractice.

    That also is not working.  I had it reformatted and can't upload it.

    Can you tell me the max size of a logo to upload without issues?

    Hi Seon, your logo must be 200x300 pixels at minimum, and must not exceed a file size of 11mb.

    Hi,

    I am trying to share a PDF will ALL of my clients.  Is adding the document one client at a time the only way to do this? 

    In light of recent events, all clients are being notified of certain changes and I cannot imagine I need to spend the time to send the document to each one of my clients. Please advise.  

    Thank you.

    Hi Evelyn, you can add a PDF under My Account > Settings > Client Portal > Shared Documents and Files, then share it with clients individually through the Share button.

    I want to verify, we are not able to download our own assessment to simple practice?

    Hi Christine, if you'd like for your clients to be able to fill out the assessment via the Portal you'll want to create a custom Intake Form for the assessment. Here's a guide on how: https://support.simplepractice.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000188623-My-Notes-and-Forms-Creating-customized-client-intake-and-progress-note-templates

    I am trying to upload a demo for patients to fill out and submit. Is there a way I can do this without it going straight to just a PDF? 

    Also, is there a way that patients can enter Insurance info and upload picture of ins. card and I

    Hi Crystal, happy to help. SimplePractice actually already features a built-in Demographic Form that collects demographic information on clients and auto-populates it into their chart. To view the form and customize it (you have the option to add fields for Gender Identity and Insurance), visit My Account > Settings > Client Portal > Shared Documents and Files. To send it to a client, click the Share button on the client's Overview page. 

     

    Clients can easily upload documents to the Portal using our new Client Document Upload feature. To activate the feature, visit My Account > Settings > Client Portal and toggle the feature on using the toggle button. Then, clients can visit the Documents tab of their Client Portal to upload their insurance cards, IDs, and any other files they need to share with you securely.

    Sorry if I missed it in this chain, but I am wanting to upload a document to my intake forms that can be signed by the client (i.e. not "read only").  Can you tell me how to do this?

    I have the same question as Shelley c. I'd like to upload my own teletherapy consent form for my clients to sign. How do I do this?

    Happy to help, Shelley and Carolyn. You can add a new read-and-sign Consent Form to your SimplePractice account under My Account > Settings > Client Portal > Shared Documents and Files > +Consent Form.

    So, I need to copy and paste the document where I can free text?  When I hit +consent form, there is a free text document that opens.

    How do I delete documents I've uploaded that are attaching automatically to new patients?

    Hi Brian and Sharon - I can certainly explain where you'd find documents that you've uploaded to share with clients. I'll go over how to delete previously added documents and how to add new ones. 

    1. Go to My Account > Settings > Client Portal > Shared Documents and Files

    2. Scroll down to the Files Read Only section

    3. Click +Downloadable File to upload a document from your computer. 

    4. To remove any of the documents listed from being automatically included in your Intake Packet, uncheck the box under "INCLUDED."

    5. To delete any of these documents, hit the Delete link to the far right.

    I want a fillable pdf assessment form to go with each new client packet. Is that possible to upload it to my documents and then assign it to the client portal shared documents and tag it include?

    Hi Marsha - If you'd like your clients to fill out and sign a form, or document electronically through SimplePractice, you'll want to create it using our template builder. You can customize a form in our Template Library, or start from scratch. 

    Here are some guides you may find helpful along the way:

    Is there a way to export patient photos/images that were uploaded into their charts? I want to create a pdf to send to a specialist. Is it possible get them from chart to a word doc? Thank you

    Hi Amy, there sure is! Go to the client's file, navigate to the UPLOADED FILES box to the bottom right and click on any of the links to generate a PDF of an uploaded document. If the document was uploaded by the client, through their Client Portal, you can do the same thing in the CLIENT UPLOADS box underneath.
