With it you can \u2018tell Spellbook to redline your contract, then take over to manually edit, add comments, and fine-tune it to your standards before it goes out\u2019, they explained.<\/p>\n<p>By way of example, they noted that if \u2018you want to edit four financing documents based on a term sheet. Just ask Spellbook, and it\u2019ll make hundreds of edits across the set. Instead of opening them in Word, pull them up right there in Associate to review the changes. Accept what works, reject what doesn\u2019t, and make surgical edits yourself, all in the same session.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>You can now:<\/p>\n<p>Edit quickly without leaving Spellbook.<\/p>\n<p>Fix a typo or tighten a clause without downloading the file and opening Word first.<\/p>\n<p>Accept or reject redlines without fighting formatting that shows up differently every time.<\/p>\n<p>Review comments in context.<\/p>\n<p>See what your team has flagged without downloading the file first.<\/p>\n<p>Click a citation and land right on that clause without scrolling to find it.<\/p>\n<p>More <a href=\"https:\/\/spellbook.com\/blog\/introducing-spellbooks-ai-document-editor\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/spellbook.com\/blog\/introducing-spellbooks-ai-document-editor\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cosmolex.com\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.cosmolex.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CosmoLex<\/a>, a legal practice management platform, has launched some new features, including AI Intake, a \u2018capability that captures clean client data and automatically moves every intake forward without anyone touching it\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>StructureFlow has made another senior hire.
