# Using the Parallel Review tool

{% stepper %}

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Formulating Queries

In the "Ask a question about the selected documents" text area, articulate your initial query or a prompt outlining the information you wish to extract and click on the "Submit" icon.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Intelligent Query Expansion

Jurisphere's advanced legal intelligence will analyze your broader query and expand it into a set of precise, contextually relevant legal questions.

These expanded questions will be presented in a structured table, featuring "Column Header" and "Question" fields.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Customize and Refine Questions

* Review the questions generated through query expansion carefully.
* **Add Additional Parameters:** To include more questions (which will become additional columns) beyond those suggested by Jurisphere, click **"**<mark style="color:blue;">**+ Add Question**</mark>**"** at the bottom of the question list and type in your desired query.
* **Modify/Edit Questions:** You retain full control to modify or edit any individual question. Simply click the **pencil (**<img src="/files/p90ybhSb7DrScZZp0DqM" alt="" data-size="line">**) icon** next to a question to adjust its wording.
* **Remove Questions:** To eliminate a question from the list, click the **trash can (**<img src="/files/rr5WC2AsbRZYRKFBnui8" alt="" data-size="line">**) icon** beside it.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Generate the table

* Once you are satisfied with your refined set of questions, proceed by clicking the <img src="/files/P64J1TVGPyjuQCZxqWDK" alt="" data-size="line"> button.
* Jurisphere will then start the Parallel Review tool creation process, extracting the answers for each specified question from your selected documents.<br>

{% hint style="success" %}
**Creating a Parallel Review response is a background process.**

Feel free to exit the Parallel Review tool while your documents are processed in the background. You can navigate to another webpage or close the window entirely without interrupting the process. A notification will appear in the top-right corner to alert you once the table creation is complete.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.jurisphere.ai/parallel-review/using-the-parallel-review-tool.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
