Drafting and Editing on the Word Add-In

Step 1: Type Your Drafting or Editing Instruction

Open the add-in panel and type your instruction in plain language. You can ask Jurisphere to:

  • Draft a new clause or section to be inserted into your document

  • Edit, rewrite, or improve existing portions of the document

  • Delete redundant or problematic language

  • Replace specific terms, definitions, or provisions with revised alternatives

Examples:

  • "Draft a force majeure clause that covers pandemics, natural disasters, and government actions"

  • "Rewrite clause 8.2 to make the termination rights mutual"

  • "Delete the non-compete provision in Section 5"

  • "Replace all references to 'Vendor' with 'Service Provider'"

Step 2: Review the Suggested Edits

Jurisphere generates a set of edits, each clearly labelled with a category so you can immediately understand what kind of change is being proposed:

Category
What It Means

Replace

Substitutes existing text with revised language

Rewrite

Restructures or rephrases a section while preserving its intent

Insertion

Adds new text at a specific location in the document

Deletion

Removes text that is redundant, problematic, or no longer needed

Step 3: Act on Each Edit

Every suggested edit comes with three buttons below it:

  • Show in Document — Navigates you to the exact portion of your Word document where the edit is to be applied. This lets you see the surrounding context before deciding.

  • Apply — Applies the edit directly to your document. Once applied, the rationale explaining why the edit was made is automatically added as a bubble comment in the document margin, so you or your colleagues can understand the reasoning behind every change. an Undo option becomes available, allowing you to revert the change and restore the original text. This gives you full control to experiment with suggestions without any risk to your document.

  • Dismiss — Removes the suggestion entirely if it's not relevant to your needs.

Upload Context Documents

Need your edits to reflect language from a specific precedent, template, or reference document? Click the paperclip icon in the input field to upload files from your computer. Jurisphere will use the uploaded documents as additional context when generating its response.

This is particularly useful when you want to:

  • Borrow language from a previously negotiated agreement

  • Align a clause with standard wording from an internal template

  • Mirror the structure or tone of a precedent document

  • Cross-reference a statute or regulation while drafting

Iterate with Follow-Up Questions

Your first query doesn't have to be your last. After reviewing the suggested edits, you can ask follow-up questions to refine the output further. Jurisphere maintains the context of your conversation, so each follow-up builds on what came before.

Example flow:

  1. "Draft an indemnification clause for the buyer"

  2. "Make it mutual and add a cap equal to the contract value"

  3. "Now add a carve-out for fraud and wilful misconduct".

Tips for Best Results

  • Use "Selection Only" when editing a specific clause, so Jurisphere focuses on the right portion of the document.

  • Upload precedents when you want the drafted language to follow a particular style or standard.

  • Iterate freely. Follow-up questions are often where the best results come from — don't hesitate to refine.
