Key features:

Detect all document changes automatically across PDF, Word, and text formats

Generate structured change reports highlighting additions, deletions, and modifications

Create audit trails with version numbers, dates, and change details for compliance

Deliver change summaries to attorneys and clients in standardized format

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. New Document Version Uploadedtrigger

A revised document is uploaded or received via email. The automation detects the new file and retrieves the previous version from the version history.

2. Extract and Compare Document Content

The automation platform extracts text and metadata from both the current and previous versions. It performs a line-by-line comparison to identify all additions, deletions, and modifications.

3. Generate Change Report

The automation creates a structured change report, listing each change with the section, the old text, the new text, and the type of change (added, deleted, modified).

4. Create Annotated PDF

The automation uses to generate a PDF version of the revised document with changes highlighted and annotated for easy visual review.

5. Log to Audit Trail

The automation records the version number, timestamp, document name, change summary, and user who uploaded the file audit log for compliance.

6. Notify Team

The automation sends a message to the team with a summary of changes, links to the change report and annotated PDF, and a note that the document is ready for attorney review.
