Document Redlining
Transform your documents with intelligent editing while maintaining full visibility into every change. Our redlining capability brings attorney-grade precision to document modifications.How Redlining Works

Upload any Word document (.docx or .doc). Legacy .doc files are
automatically converted for processing.
2
Describe Your Changes
Tell us what changes you want in plain language. Be as specific or general
as needed.
3

versions.
What You Can Ask For
Simple Changes
“Change the governing law from Delaware to Texas.”
“Replace all instances of ‘Acme Corp’ with ‘XYZ Inc’.”
“Update the effective date to January 1, 2025.”
Complex Modifications
“Strengthen the confidentiality provisions to include derivative works and extend the term to 5 years.”
“Add a force majeure clause covering pandemics, natural disasters, and government actions.”
“Revise the indemnification section to be mutual instead of one-way.”
Section-Specific Edits
“Edit only Section 4 to add a 30-day cure period.”
“In Section 2.1, change the payment terms from Net 30 to Net 45.”
“Modify only the termination clause to require 90 days written notice.”
Section-Aware Editing
When you specify sections, we take it literally:What You Say
“Edit only sections 2 and 4 to make the language more formal”
What Happens
Changes are restricted to sections 2 and 4 only. All other sections remain
untouched.
How It Works
- Section Detection: We analyze your document structure to identify all sections
- Instruction Mapping: Your request is mapped to specific sections
- Targeted Editing: Changes are applied only where specified
- Compliance Verification: We confirm changes stayed within boundaries
If you don’t specify sections, changes are applied wherever contextually
appropriate throughout the document.

Version Tracking
When you make multiple rounds of changes in the same chat, each version is automatically tracked with professional legal naming:File Naming Format
| Round | What You Get |
|---|---|
| 1st | Redline - Contract (v1) 2026-01-04.docx |
| 2nd | Redline - Contract (v2) 2026-01-04.docx |
| 3rd | Redline - Contract (v3) 2026-01-04.docx |
How It Works
Automatic Versioning
Version numbers increment automatically each time you request changes on the
same document within a chat.
Clear History
Easily identify which version is which during multi-round negotiations.
Example Chat Progression
Each document is tracked independently. If you have multiple documents in the
same chat, each has its own version counter.
Document Comparison
