What this flow does

What this flow does

Instead of editing the DOCX file externally and re-uploading, you can instruct the AI directly in the chat panel to make changes to the contract. The AI understands the full document structure and makes targeted edits β€” rewrites, insertions, heading updates β€” in real time.


Steps

Steps

Step 1

1

Open a Workspace

Click Workspaces in the left sidebar and open any active redline project.

URL: app.vallor.ai/workspace/redline

Step 2

2

Open the Chat panel

Click Chat in the top bar of the Workspace. The chat panel will open on the right side of the screen alongside the document viewer.

Step 3

3

Type an edit instruction

In the chat input, describe the change you want. Be specific about which clause or section you're targeting.

Make the opening paragraph more detailed.Update the heading for Section 3 to read "Payment and Invoicing Terms".Rewrite the limitation of liability clause in plain English.Add a sentence to Section 5 stating that all notices must be sent via email.Make the termination for convenience clause shorter and more neutral.

Step 4

Review the change

The AI makes the edit directly in the document. The change appears highlighted in the document viewer on the left.

Each edit creates a new minor version (e.g. v1.1 v1.2). You can undo if needed.

5

Iterate if needed

If the result isn't quite right, refine with a follow-up instruction in the same chat thread:

Make it shorter.Use more formal language.Remove the second sentence.Add a cross-reference to Section 8.

Step 6

Re-analyze when done

After making significant edits, click Re-analyze in the top bar. This refreshes the AI's issue analysis to reflect your updated document. Old issues may no longer be relevant after your changes.


Tips & Workarounds

Tips & Workarounds

Tip: The AI has full document context. It understands the contract structure and knows where to make changes without you specifying a page number.

Tip: You can also ask questions in the same chat ("What is the current limitation of liability cap?"). Not every message needs to be an edit instruction.

Tip: After editing, always click Re-analyze so the Issues List reflects the updated document. Old issues may no longer be relevant after your changes.

Note: Each chat edit creates a new document version. There is no version history UI yet. If you need to revert multiple versions, use the Undo option immediately after each change.
