IDE

IDE stands for Integrated Drafting Environment. It brings a project's documents and conversation into one workspace. Use it when you want to inspect the source while discussing or editing it.

Open a matterCopy Anchor Link

1. Open IDE from the sidebar.
2. Select Open project, choose the matter, then select Open.
3. If the matter does not have a project yet, select New project and follow the project setup steps.
4. Open a document from the Explorer to view it beside the chat.

Ask about a documentCopy Anchor Link

1. Drag the document from the Explorer into the chat, or attach it through + → Saved Documents.
2. Name the document and the passage you want to discuss.
3. Send the question and compare the answer with the document pane.

Explain clause 3 of the attached agreement. List what it says about payment and what it leaves unclear. Include the clause reference.

Attach or name the intended document when several files are open so the task is clear.

Draft or reviseCopy Anchor Link

Ask for a new document, a draft based on an existing document, or a specific revision. Include the parties, purpose, relevant facts, and the format you need.

Revise the payment clause in this document to require payment within 15 days after receipt of the invoice. Keep the fee unchanged. Save the revision as a new version and explain the change.

Wait for the task to finish. Open the resulting document and check that it contains the requested change. For an editable Word document, you can also make changes in its document pane.

Review and keep the resultCopy Anchor Link

1. Read the proposed wording and any explanation.
2. Where tracked changes are shown, accept or reject them using the review controls.
3. Check the document's save status and version before closing it.
4. Use its download control when you need a copy outside jLaw.

Check names, dates, amounts, and cross-references before sharing the result. If the document changes after a review, run the review again against the updated text.

Your project conversation can be reopened from the project's Chats tab. If you have view-only access, ask the project owner for permission to edit.
