Contract Editing

Contract Editing (Beta Feature)

Edit documents directly through email instructions:

• Attach the document you want to edit (must be the first Word attachment)
• Provide editing instructions in your email
• Optionally include precedent documents for reference (as additional attachments)
• Receive the edited document with your requested changes

How the Contract Editor Works

The Contract Editor allows you to request specific changes to your document:

1. Document Analysis: Junior analyzes your document's structure and content
2. Instruction Analysis: Your editing instructions are parsed to understand needed changes
3. Section Identification: Junior identifies relevant sections for editing
4. Change Implementation: Junior applies changes according to your instructions
5. Quality Control: Changes are reviewed for consistency with the rest of the document

Editing Capabilities

Junior can handle various types of document edits:

1. Direct Instructions: "Add a confidentiality clause that expires after 3 years"
2. Playbook-Based Edits: Changes following standard drafting guidelines
3. Precedent-Based Edits: Changes based on provisions in precedent documents
4. Follow-Up Revisions: Iterative changes to previously edited documents

Instruction Types

Junior supports different approaches to document editing:

1. Specific Edits: Direct requests for specific changes to identified sections
2. Excel Playbook: Attach an Excel file with editing instructions
3. General Guidance: Broader instructions about document style or approach
4. Precedent Incorporation: Instructions to incorporate provisions from attached precedents

Best Practices

For optimal results with Contract Editor:

• Be specific: Clearly identify where changes should be made
• Use section references: Refer to specific sections/clauses when possible
• One document at a time: Edit only one primary document per email
• Send follow-ups: For multiple changes, you can send follow-up emails for iterative edits
• Provide context: Explain the purpose of requested changes for better results
• Include precedents: Attach example documents containing provisions you want to incorporate
• Review changes: Always review edited documents carefully before using them

Limitations (Beta Feature)

As a beta feature, Contract Editor has some limitations:

• Works best with well-structured Word documents
• May require more specific instructions for complex edits
• Performance varies based on document complexity and instruction clarity
• Multiple rounds of edits may be needed for extensive revisions
