# Drafting and Editing on the Word Add-In

<figure><img src="/files/meLK3XRabqnHZZxbaJST" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### 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.

## 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/word-add-in/drafting-and-editing-on-the-word-add-in.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.
