Reviewing Imported Clauses and Fields
You can review and correct the clauses and fields extracted from imported documents. Discovery AI converts all scanned or uploaded documents to PDF format for scanning and review. Provisions and other significant text are highlighted for review in an in-app PDF reader. For each detected clause or field you review, you can accept the extract, reject the extract, edit the extract, or flag the extract for review.
- From the Home page, click the name of a file marked "Ready for Review". Alternatively, you can click the folder icon to access the Project Dashboard, open a folder, and click the name of a file marked "Ready for Review."The selected document opens for review. The extracted document appears to the left, with review options to the right. The default selected option is Review. From this view, you can access tabs for Details, Insights, and Review History. From the Review tab, you can access sub-tabs for Summary, Fields, Clauses, Tables, and Obligations. The Fields tab opens in the default view.
- Passages from the extraction map that the AI has identified are highlighted in the text and identified by mapping category under the Provisions Found heading in the review column to the right.
For example, if a contract contains an amended effective date field, as has been mapped in the extraction map, that field is highlighted in the text and appears in the right column under its field-name heading. Provisions found in the contract are exposed in the review panel in the order they appear in the contract.
CAUTION:When a clause spans a page break, Discovery AI may ingest header or footer material as part of the extracted clause language. If this happens, edit the extraction by hand to remove the extraneous information and do not re-highlight it.
- For found provisions, you can offer feedback on extraction quality directly to the AI (using the thumbs-up icon), mark a field or clause as reviewed (approved), or flag the entry for further attention.The AI's confidence score is indicated on the left, using color-coded bars:
Mandatory fields are indicated by "Required" indicators:
Your review cannot be completed until these required values are populated, either automatically or through manual editing.
- Provisions that were not found in the extraction are indicated in the Provisions Missing section (below Provisions Found). For each of these provisions:
- Review the scanned contract text at left for the passage that will satisfy this provision. Tip:
You can speed this up using the in-app document search feature (the magnifying-glass icon (
) at top left).
- For each passage you find, highlight the passage, then right- or control-click the highlighted text to raise the selection pull-down. Pick the provision that matches the highlighted passage.
- Alternatively, you can copy the highlighted text and paste it into the appropriate provision field.
- Review the scanned contract text at left for the passage that will satisfy this provision.
- Select each item to raise a summary of the field, clause, table row, or obligation item's name and a comparison of extracted values and their interpreted value.Extracted clauses are compared to standard clauses and the match/non-match results displayed.
- When the AI extracts documents, it compares the ingested text to known samples to find matches and close correlations to sample provisions. Use the Compare or Edit Clause feature to review its performance, learn how it makes such comparisons, and select the best of several alternative clauses.Clicking the down-arrow icon adjacent to an extracted clause exposes standard clauses, which are stored in the Clause Library as standard text. If no standard text is stored, this will be blank and the AI will not find similarities or differences that it recognizes as close matches.
- Click Compare or Edit Clause to expose the Clause Assignment window, with Extracted Clause and Standard Clause tabs.
- The Extracted Clause tab shows the extracted clause itself.
- Click the Standard Clause tab to review the standard clause to which the extracted clause was compared (this can include the language of custom provisions).
- Click Compare with Standard Clause to display an AI-generated comparison of the similarities and differences between the extracted clause and the standard.For some implementations, AI comparison is on by default: the comparison is generated when the document is extracted. If automatic AI comparison is not enabled, you must click through, triggering AI comparisons as needed.
- The Extracted Clause tab shows the extracted clause itself.
- When you have reviewed and validated all values, click Review Complete.CAUTION: This action is irrevocable. Once you mark a document as approved, you cannot edit it any further.
