Redlining basics

A Turn is one complete round of proposed changes from one side of a negotiation. Redline keeps every Turn in order, so the Matter shows who changed the document, when they returned it, and which version became the next working draft.

Review a Turn

Open the latest document and select Review changes. Additions appear with an underline, deletions appear struck through, and comments remain attached to the relevant text.

Work clause by clause

Use the change list to move through each proposal. Redline groups nearby edits so a rewritten sentence is reviewed as one decision.

Accept or reject changes

Select Accept to incorporate a proposal or Reject to keep the prior language. You can apply a decision to one change, a selected group, or all remaining formatting-only changes.

Use the Playbook

Version 4.2 shows the preferred position, approved fallback language, and escalation guidance beside supported clauses. Insert a fallback without leaving the review.

Complete your Turn

Resolve required comments, review the clean preview, and select Complete Turn. Redline locks the returned version and creates the next working draft.

Warning:

Completing a Turn cannot be undone. You can start another Turn, but the completed version remains in the Matter history.

If a proposed term exceeds the Playbook boundary, route the Matter through an Approval Chain.
