AI Drafting Assistant

Invoke the AI Drafting Assistant at any time with the AI button on the toolbar, from Tools > Drafting Assistant, or by pressing Ctrl+<Space>.

When you invoke the Drafting Assistant with text selected, it offers options for working on the selected text.

Any proposed changes to the selected text are presented in a popup. You can toggle between seeing the proposed new text or seeing a redline of the differences between your existing text and the proposed new text. You can choose to Accept, Discard, or Try again (to have the AI run the same command again for different results).

When there is no selection the Drafting Assistant will offers ideas for new content, adapted to the present context.

  • In an empty document it will suggest drafting an outline.

  • When the cursor is on an outline point it will suggest drafting points for a clause.

    • These will be returned as [to do] text. You can right-click to delete a whole point in a single operation, or simply edit the suggestions with your mouse or keyboard.

  • When the cursor is in a list of [to do] points, it will suggest drafting the text of a clause.

Editing a Suggestion Redline

When the Drafting Assistant suggests new text you can choose to view it alone or as a redline against the existing text. In the redline view struck-out red text represents what is already in the document, and underlined blue text suggested changes.

You can pick and choose individual changes by clicking on them to reject them. You will see the redline adapt immediately to reflect your rejection of a suggested deletion or insertion. This gives you complete control over the AI suggestions; you do not have to accept or reject the suggestions as a whole.
