Accepting and rejecting suggestions
What each decision does to your contract and how it shows up on export.
When the AI redline pass finishes, every issue lands in the review queue in a pending state for you to decide.
Your three actions
For any pending suggestion you have three actions in the inspector. Use j
and k to step through the queue, or open the command menu with ⌘K.
| Action | Keyboard | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Accept | A | The suggested replacement text is queued as your edit. On export it's applied to the document. |
| Reject | R | The suggestion is dropped and the issue is marked dismissed. The original text stays as-is. |
| Counter | C | Propose an alternative rewrite. The issue stays pending with your counter attached until a final decision is made. |
| Command menu | ⌘K | Open the command menu for additional actions. |
When an issue is already resolved or dismissed, the decision bar collapses to a Reopen action that puts it back into pending. Decisions are reversible this way until export.
Accepting
- Open the issue in the review queue.
- Review the rationale, the diff between the original and suggested text, and the playbook category that triggered it.
- Click Accept (or press
A).
The suggestion is queued — the document body in the editor doesn't change yet. Pending and accepted edits are previewed alongside the document so you can see the cumulative effect before export.
Rejecting
- Open the issue.
- Click Reject (or press
R).
Reject when the playbook category doesn't apply in this deal, when business has already accepted the deviation, or when you'd rather negotiate verbally than in markup.
Deferring
Defer keeps the issue pending but moves it out of your default view. Use it when you need:
- Business sign-off on a commercial term.
- Legal sign-off on a Must-have clause.
- The counterparty to clarify intent before you decide.
Deferred issues are still pending, so they continue to count toward the
export gate — defer is "not now," not "ignore." Press D again on a
deferred issue to undefer it.
Reopening
If you change your mind on a resolved or dismissed issue, open it and click Reopen. The issue returns to pending and you can decide it again.
How decisions affect export
- Accepted suggestions are applied when you recompile the document.
- Rejected suggestions are not applied and produce no markup.
- Deferred (still pending) issues block export until they're decided.
See Exporting your contract for the recompile step.
Assigning issues
Each AI redline issue has an assignee picker so you can route a single suggestion to a teammate without changing the contract-level assignees. See Assigning documents to teammates for how assignments and notifications work.
