# Creating a Redline Analysis

## Selecting documents 

You can choose multiple files to create your Redline Analysis from.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
[Upload the file(s)](https://jurisphere.gitbook.io/jurisphere-guide/file-upload-and-management/your-files-and-documents/uploading-files-and-folders) that you want to use, and select them from the [Folder pane](https://jurisphere.gitbook.io/jurisphere-guide/file-upload-and-management/your-files-and-documents/uploading-files-and-folders#open-your-folders-pane) on the left.

{% hint style="info" %}
Only marked-up PDFs (.pdf) and Word Documents (.docx format) are acceptable for Redline Analysis.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
You can see the selected document(s) on the main pane on the right, in the "<mark style="color:green;">Ready for Analysis</mark>" area.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Add context (optional)

You can add **custom instructions** to guide the analysis, for example, asking the tool to highlight specific risk areas, focus on certain clauses, or flag deviations from your standard templates.&#x20;

These instructions shape the tool’s output so the generated issues list is tailored to your review strategy.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Redline Analysis is a background process.**

This means that you can exit the page while your Redline Analysis is being prepared. You may navigate to another webpage or close the window entirely. A notification will pop up on the top right hand corner once this task is completed.&#x20;
