# Binders: general
Binders are bundles of single documents that follow the same styling, terminology, definitions, etc. (binders typically take the form of a a main agreement with several annexes attached to it, like a master services agreement with a number of statements of work or a share purchase agreement with schedules attached to it).
To open a binder, click on the button on the top right-hand side of the screen when in Assemble Document mode and choose *New Binder*.
You will quickly note that binders are virtually identical to documents in the way that they are presented in the document toolbar and the operations pane. For example, the “terms” and “datafield” menu of the operations panel function in the exact same way for binders as they do for documents.
How to manage (existing and new) documents in a binder is [described more in detail here](/assemble-document-operations-panel/binder-pane.md).
