Fig. 01Compare two versions

Compare takes the document you're on and a second document of your choice, runs a full comparison, and gives you back a redline in Microsoft Word — ready to share with the other side or route internally for review.

Open the ⋯ (more) menu and choose Compare.

01What you're comparing against

The document you're currently editing is the Revised side — fixed, no need to pick it. For the Original side, choose one of three:

  • Blank Form — compare against the unmodified template. Shows every change made since the draft started, including every clause selection. Useful when senior counsel wants to review the full departure from your standard form.
  • Previous Version — compare against the previous version of this deal. This is the standard "what changed since v1?" redline you'd send when turning a draft.
  • Local File — upload a Word document from your computer. Use this when the other side sends back their markup and you want a redline between your current state and theirs.

02What you get

A Word (.docx) redline using Word's tracked-changes format, showing insertions, deletions, and moved text. Send it out as-is, or open it in Word to review before sharing.
