Comparing Clauses
Using this feature, you can compare any plain text or clause in your agreement document with any clause from the Clause Library.
To compare text
- Open Microsoft Word and launch the add-in.
- Log in to X-Author for Contracts.
- Open the required agreement document, and in the Contracts pane, go to Work > Clause Library.
- Highlight the plain content/text or any clause content in the agreement document that you need to compare.
-
Now in the Clause Library pane, search for the clause you want to compare with, click the More icon (
) next to the clause name, and click Compare Text.
-
Now the text you highlighted in the document and clause content from the clause library are compared and the compared results are displayed in a new Compare with Library pane.
Note:
If you do not select a text or clause text before clicking on ‘Compare Text’ then a validation message ‘Please select some text’ will be displayed.
-
The following color code is applied to the newly compared clause text:
- Blue text – Refers to the common text that is available both in the highlighted text or clause text from the document and clause text from the Clause Library.
- Black text – Refers to highlighted text or clause text from the document.
- Red text – Refers to the clause text from the Clause Library.
- After viewing the compared results, you can also mark the highlighted text as a new clause by clicking the Mark New Clause button. The Mark Clause form opens. For more information on marking new clauses, see Marking Clauses.
