GPT-5.6 Sol, OpenAI's latest model in the GPT-5 series, is now available in Harvey.

On BigLaw Bench, GPT-5.6 Sol scored 92.7%, a step up from GPT-5.5’s 91.7%, with perfect performance across risk assessment & compliance and deal management. There were also strong results across document review and analysis, drafting, and case management. These are high-volume legal workflows where reliable accuracy compounds into real time savings.

On LAB, which is graded on a stricter all-pass basis, GPT-5.6 Sol scored 2.5%, showing there is room to improve on end-to-end task completion. Additionally, early testing showed opportunities for growth in certain categories like regulatory and advising, transcript analysis, and transaction structuring — areas that tend to be challenging for frontier models.

GPT-5.6 Sol will be available in Harvey to US customers starting this week, with EU and AU availability to be announced.

Original source

Harvey now supports language localization for the web app, so you can set Harvey’s interface and responses to the language you’re most comfortable working in. With this update, you can:

• Select an Interface language to change the language of menus, navigation, and system messages throughout Harvey's web interface
• Select an Output language to control the default language Harvey uses when generating responses

Note: At the time of GA, interface language localization will be available in French (Canada) and French (France) only. Additional languages will be introduced on an ongoing basis.

Why It Matters

Language localization allows you to navigate Harvey’s web app and responses in your preferred language, helping you to work smoothly and efficiently.

How to Use

For steps and tips on setting your language preferences in Harvey, refer to Changing Your Language Settings in Harvey.

FAQs

Q: Can I ask Harvey to respond in a language other than my Output language?
Yes. You can ask Harvey to respond in a different language at any time. Simply specify the language in your prompt, and Harvey will use it for that response, overriding your default Output language.

For example, if your Output language is set to French but you write in English or request an English reply, Harvey will respond in English.

Q: Will more languages be available?
Yes. Harvey plans to add more languages throughout 2026.

Original source

Vault sharing is now available on iOS, allowing you to share vaults with other Harvey users directly from the Harvey app.

What’s New

Vault sharing is now available in the Harvey iOS app, bringing the web app experience to your iPhone and iPad. You can now:

• Share vaults with other Harvey users without leaving the iOS app
• Grant teammates access and collaborate across matters from your mobile device
• Use the same core sharing capabilities available on the web app, with no feature limitations

Why It Matters

You no longer have to switch to the web app to share a vault with another Harvey user. Vault sharing on iOS lets you share vaults from your iPhone or tablet, so collaboration can continue whether you're between meetings, traveling, or working away from a computer.

How To Use

Note: Sharing options may vary based on workspace settings. If the Share button isn’t visible, please contact your Harvey workspace admin for assistance.

• In the iOS app, select Vault from the homepage menu.
• Choose the vault you want to share.
• Tap the … (three-dot) menu in the upper-right corner and choose Share.
• In the Invite field, enter the email addresses of the Harvey users you want to share the vault with.
• Set each user's access level from the dropdown next to their name:
  • Can view: Lets users view and copy queries and files.
  • Can edit: Lets users modify queries and add or remove files.
  • Full access: Lets users manage the vault, including deletion, renaming, and modifying sharing access.
  • Remove access: Removes a user’s vault access.
• To manage content controls, tap the gear icon and toggle any of the following:
  • Allow downloads: Lets viewers download files.
  • Allow duplication: Lets viewers duplicate files.
  • Show review prompts: Lets viewers see review table column prompts.

For more information on sharing a vault, refer to Share A Vault.

Original source

Vault, Knowledge Base, and Review Table owners can now restrict what view-only users can do, blocking file downloads, duplication, and visibility into review table prompts.

What’s New

We’ve introduced more granular vault controls that let owners restrict shared users with view-only permissions from downloading files, duplicating files, or seeing review table prompts.

If you’re the owner of a Vault, Knowledge Base, or independent Review Table, you can now turn off specific actions for anyone with View access:

• Allow downloads: prevent viewers from downloading files
• Allow duplication: prevent viewers from duplicating files
• Show review prompts: prevent viewers from seeing the prompts that generate review table columns

These restrictions apply only to users with View access. Users with Edit or Full Access are never restricted by these toggles.

Why It Matters

Sharing a Vault or Review Table with external parties or internal viewers often means choosing between full collaboration and no access at all. With content protection controls, you can share content broadly while keeping sensitive material, such as source documents or prompts, from leaving the platform or being copied. This gives you more control over confidential work product without having to downgrade or remove access.

How to Use

• Go to a Vault, Knowledge Base, or independent Review Table that you own.
• Select Share.
• Select Content controls at the top-right of the share menu.
• Adjust restrictions for downloads, duplication, and review prompts.

FAQs

Q: Can I restrict a single viewer instead of all viewers?

No. Content controls apply to all viewers on a Vault, Knowledge Base, or Review Table at once; there's no per-user setting.

Q: Will viewers know if a restriction has been applied?

No. Viewers won't see a notice about the restriction. The relevant action (like the download button) simply won't appear for them.

Q: Does this apply to Workflows or Assistant?

No. Content controls currently cover Vaults, Knowledge Bases, and independent Review Tables only.

Original source

Add a reference file to a review table column and have Harvey use it as context when extracting across every row.

What’s New

You can now attach a reference file from your computer or an existing vault to any review table column. Harvey will use the file as context for every row automatically.

• Direct Harvey with an @ mention. Reference the attached file by name in the column prompt, for example "Identify deviations from @Standard Offer Letter."
• Traceability built in. Every cell cites the reference file inline. Click a citation to highlight the passage Harvey relied on, and move between citations from the row document and the column file.
• Full compatibility with column and table actions. Columns with file context support re-run, conditional columns, filter, sort, group/ungroup, verify, flag, comment, edit, save as a workflow agent, table duplication, and export.

Why It Matters

Attaching a file as column context makes it simpler and faster to compare large sets of documents against a fixed reference, such as a template, a review protocol, or a regulatory framework. Instead of manually restating or pasting your reference document into each column prompt, you can attach the file once and apply it across every row.

How to Use

For steps and tips on attaching a file as column context, refer to Using Review Tables.

Use Cases

Adding a file as column context is a helpful tool when you want to measure a set of documents against a fixed reference, such as a template, a review protocol, or a regulatory framework. Below are several examples of how this feature can fit into legal work:

• Red Flag Review — Surface and explain risk across a set of agreements
• Deposition Cross-Reference — Connect documents to sworn testimony
• Regulatory Compliance — Compare a contract portfolio against a new rule

FAQs

Q: What should I use this feature for?

Add files as column context when a column needs to reference a document, such as a regulatory framework, a review protocol, a precedent contract, a playbook, or a standard form. Harvey then compares that document against each row in the table.

Q: Does this work with shared agents?

Yes. File references are preserved when you save a table as a workflow agent. Anyone running that agent must have access to the referenced file's source, for example at least view access to the vault it lives in.

Q: Can I use Ask Harvey over cells generated with a file referenced in its column?

Yes. Ask Harvey reads the answer from those cells to generate a response. The file itself isn't used as context by default, but you can attach it as a knowledge source in Assistant if you want it included.

Q: Can I attach a reference file to more than one column?

Yes. The one-file limit applies per column, not per table, so you can give several columns their own reference file. Attaching more than one file to a single column returns an error.

Original source

In-house legal team admins can now give Harvey context about their organization, so its redlines and suggestions in the Harvey Word add-in are better aligned with internal priorities and negotiation approaches.

What’s New

In-house legal team admins can now set Organization Context to capture how their organization operates and have Harvey apply it when reviewing contracts or documents in the Harvey Word add-in. With Organization Context, you can:

• Provide your legal priorities, contract negotiation approach, and other context that shapes how your team works
• Set this context once at the organization level, rather than restating it for each query
• Have Harvey draw on that context automatically to tailor redlines and suggestions

Why It Matters

Organization context gives Harvey a clearer understanding of your organization’s priorities and and negotiation approach, so suggestions and redlines in the Word Add-in better align with your positions and require less manual correction.

How to Use

[Image: Highlighted Organization Context text box with an arrow pointing to a magic wand button]

• In Settings, navigate to the Workspace tab.
• Locate the Organization context section.
• Select the magic wand icon to auto-generate a draft.
• Refine the draft as needed to reflect your organization’s priorities and negotiation approach.
• Select Publish.

Once published, Harvey begins applying the context to redlines and suggestions in the Word Add-in for all users. You can return to Settings to update Organization Context at any time.

FAQs

Q: How specific should Organization Context be?

Enter context that holds true across your organization as a whole, rather than the specifics of any one team or business unit. Tailoring guidance to the differing needs of individual business units will be supported through user-level memory in a future release.

Q: Does Organization Context apply in the web app as well as the Word Add-in?

For now, Organization Context applies only in the Word Add-in, where it shapes Harvey's suggestions and redlines. Support for additional surfaces may follow.

What’s New

In Collaboration settings, a new Internal Spaces tab gives admins a centralized view of all internal Spaces in the workspace without requiring membership in each space.

An Internal Spaces tab is now available within Harvey’s Collaboration settings. Admins with the Manage internal spaces permission can now access a centralized view of all internal Spaces in the workspace without requiring membership in each one.

Why it Matters

Before this update, KM teams and workspace admins had no way to audit or govern internal Spaces without being a member of each one. The Internal Spaces tab gives admins the visibility they need to monitor workspace collaboration, check activity levels, and manage space membership, without disrupting existing memberships or joining every space.

How to Use

• Go to Settings → Collaboration.
• Select the Internal Spaces tab.
• Use the filters and search bar to locate specific spaces by name, creator, or client matter.
• Select a space from the list to manage its resource permissions, member list, and activity feed.

FAQs

Q: Does visibility in this tab give admins access to content inside a space?
No. The tab shows space metadata only. To access content inside a space, an admin must invite themselves to the space first.

Q: Will admins automatically appear as members of spaces they can see?
No. Visibility in the Internal Spaces tab is separate from membership. However, admins can now invite themselves and other users to any internal space.

Q: Does this change anything for existing spaces or their members?
No, this is a governance view only. It does not modify any space settings, memberships, or permissions.

Q: Why do admins see “External Collaboration” in the Settings menu instead of “Collaboration?”
Admins who have the Manage external collaborations permission but not the Manage internal spaces permission will see the “External Collaboration” Settings menu instead of “Collaboration.”

What’s New

Library's practice area taxonomy has been expanded to provide broader legal coverage and improve content discoverability.

We've expanding the list of available practice areas in the Library and improved how content is categorized. The practice area taxonomy now provides broader coverage across legal specialties and professional workflows.

Why It Matters

This update to the list of practice areas makes it easier to browse, filter, and discover resources relevant to your area of work.

As part of this effort, we're creating a more consistent taxonomy across the Harvey experience. This foundation will help us better understand user preferences and deliver more personalized recommendations, helping you get to the most relevant content faster.

FAQs

Q: Will this affect my user profile?

Existing users with saved practice areas will be rolled over to the new list to ensure consistency across the platform. The difference in labels is semantic only and does not introduce meaningful changes.

Q: Will this affect my existing Library experience?

The core Library experience will remain the same, but you'll see a broader set of practice areas and improved organization that helps surface more relevant content.

Q: How will this improve personalization?

A more comprehensive and consistent practice area taxonomy helps Harvey better understand your interests and areas of focus, enabling more relevant content recommendations across the platform.

Claude Sonnet 5 is now available in Harvey's Model Selector across Assistant, Vault, and Workflow Builder.

What's New

We've added Claude Sonnet 5 to the model selector in Harvey. Sonnet 5 builds on Sonnet 4.6 with broad gains in legal accuracy and output quality across transactional and litigation work.

Learn more about our evaluation of this model in our blog post for Sonnet 5.

Why It Matters

Sonnet 5 delivers improvements across three areas:

• Legal accuracy: Stronger on multi-step legal work, with standout results in energy and natural resources, real estate, and capital markets. Drafting is its strongest LAB task type.
• Output calibration: More accurate and precise than its predecessor, delivering stronger answers in fewer words.
• High-throughput performance: Highest BigLaw Bench score to date (91.3%), with cost efficiency that suits high-volume work. Strongest in risk assessment and compliance, case management, and transactional drafting.

For most workflows, Auto mode continues to select the right model for you, but model selection is available if you want more direct control.

This update ensures Harvey adapts to different types of legal work without changing how you normally use it.

How to Use

Open Model Selector in Assistant, Vault, or Workflow Builder to select Claude Sonnet 5 from the list of models. Admins can manage access through Access Control & Permission Management.

Announcing Sonnet 5 in Harvey

Today, we are making Claude Sonnet 5 available in Harvey. Sonnet 5 is Anthropic's latest Sonnet model, building on Sonnet 4.6 with broad gains in legal accuracy and output quality across transactional and litigation work.

Sonnet 5 scored 5.8% all-pass on Harvey’s Legal Agent Benchmark (LAB), a strict evaluation that mirrors how multi-step legal work is executed at a law firm, from assignment through review. The model showed strengths across a number of practice areas, including energy and natural resources, real estate, and capital markets — with drafting as its strongest LAB task type.

On BigLaw Bench, Sonnet 5 scored 91.3% — the highest we've recorded across both Sonnet and Opus models. Its consistent performance across litigation and transactional work, combined with its cost efficiency, makes it especially well-suited for high-throughput tasks. Risk assessment and compliance, case management, and transactional drafting were standout BigLaw Bench task types.

“Sonnet 5 brings a meaningful jump in legal quality over Sonnet 4.6. In early testing, it was both more accurate and more precise than its predecessor, delivering stronger answers in fewer words.”

Niko Grupen
Head of Applied Research, Harvey

While drafting and transactional tasks are strong, dense, specialized analytical tasks such as tax and structured finance remain more challenging, as they do across frontier models. There's also room to improve on the strictest agentic measure — completing every step of a long, multi-step task without a single miss.

We’ll be rolling out Sonnet 5 in the model selector to eligible customers in the US in the coming days. EU and AU availability will be announced shortly.

Playbook administrators can now view and manage all Playbooks across their workspace from a single, centralized page.

A new Workspace Playbooks page is now available to Playbook administrators, allowing them to view and manage all Playbooks across their workspace from a single place.

Administrators can now:

• See every Playbook in the workspace in one consolidated view, including private and unpublished Playbooks owned by other users.
• Filter the full list by All, Published, Unpublished, and Created by me to quickly find what they need.

This capability is available to users with Playbook Manager permissions. Standard users will not see the new Workspace Playbooks page and their experience is unaffected.

Centralized admin visibility gives workspace owners better governance and oversight of Playbooks. Administrators can ensure quality and consistency across all Playbooks, support teammates by managing Playbooks on their behalf, and maintain control of their workspace's full Playbook library.

See our Managing Playbooks in the Workspace article for more details on how to access this settings page.
