Redline 4.0

Released January 28, 2026

Version 4.0 introduces a new Clause Library built for governed reuse. Legal operations teams can publish preferred language, manage fallback positions, and understand how clauses perform across active negotiations.

Added

• Clause version history with owner, approval status, and effective date
• Usage analytics by agreement type, legal entity, and negotiation outcome
• Preferred and fallback positions stored together with drafting guidance
• Filters for governing law, risk category, language, and review status
• Impact review for active drafts that contain an older Clause version

Improved

• Search now matches defined terms and phrases within Clause text
• Template editors can pin a Clause to the latest approved version or a specific version
• Clause insertion records the identifier and version in Matter activity
• Bulk import reports invalid metadata before publishing any content

Fixed

• Preserved paragraph formatting when inserting a Clause into a numbered list
• Corrected duplicate results caused by overlapping category and tag filters
• Prevented retired Clauses from appearing as preferred suggestions in new Matters

Note:

Existing library entries were migrated as version 1 and retained their prior titles and categories. Admins should assign owners and review dates after upgrading.
