Harvey Release Notes

Harvey's agents now inherit the context of your matters and projects, along with a memory of how you work.

Legal work carries history.

A matter or project can run for months. Different lawyers step in, documents change, and earlier decisions shape what happens next.

Yet most legal AI starts over every time you ask it to do something. You give it the documents, explain the matter, tell it what to look for and how you want the answer structured. Then you correct the output until it’s something you’d actually use. The next task starts, and you do much of that setup again.

An agent that starts fresh each time can’t understand the full context of the matter, which limits the complexity of the work it takes on. For the lawyer, that means spending time getting the AI back up to speed before the real work can begin.

Today, we’re introducing Harvey II.

Now, Harvey’s agents are smarter from the start. They begin with more than just what you put in the prompt. They inherit the context of the matter or project they open in, along with Harvey’s memory of your style and preferences.

That changes the ceiling on what you can hand an agent. More substantive legal work can move forward with the context, permissions, and memory already in place.

Agents start with the context they need

What an agent needs to know changes with the work. On a firm matter, that might be who’s staffed, which documents belong to it, which client it’s for, and the permissions and ethical walls that apply. For an in-house deal, it could be the counterparty, whose paper you’re on, and the positions your team has taken before. Until now, lawyers have had to bring all of that to the agent themselves, one upload, one instruction at a time.

Harvey II is built so you don’t have to carry that context over by hand. An agent opens inside the matter or project, with the documents, parties, tasks, permissions, and history of the work already there.

That Space is also where the work moves forward. Tasks can be assigned to a lawyer or an agent. When an agent finishes a first-pass review, the task moves to the specialist who owns the next step, without the work disappearing into another email thread.

For firms, permissions and ethical walls sync directly from existing systems into the Space. Usage and cost stay tied to the same matter or project, so AI spend follows the work.

Agents always carry your team’s instructions and playbooks, but client data never moves from one Space to another. When an agent opens in a Space, it picks up both the context and the boundaries of that matter or project.

Memory makes Harvey more personal

A Space gives Harvey the context and history of the work. Memory gives Harvey a history with you. It learns how you structure a summary, what you want cited, and how you write.

Some of this you tell Harvey directly, and it sticks. The rest it picks up as you work, from your edits and corrections. That memory follows you across Harvey, Word, and Outlook. When an agent takes on work for you, it can use what Harvey already knows about your preferences and patterns. You spend less time repeating instructions or fixing the same things. You can see everything Harvey remembers, change it, or turn it off entirely, and it's never used to train models.

And the more Harvey understands how you work, the more you can trust an agent with substantive legal work. It starts from your preferences and prior work, so what comes back is already closer to something you'd actually send.

The same goes for the way your team works. Nobody in legal starts from a blank page. A firm has the credit agreement it's negotiated a hundred times. An in-house team has its approved fallbacks. Harvey II can work from those templates too, so drafts arrive in the shape your team already uses. Set the headings, numbering, defined terms, and citation style once, and Harvey applies them consistently. The more you use Harvey, the less you have to explain.

For the first time, Harvey has intelligence trained for legal work

Context and memory tell an agent what to do. The model determines how well it does it. Until now, Harvey has relied on general-purpose models. Legal work has always pushed against their limits. Today, that changes with Harvey Tenet, our first model, post-trained end-to-end for legal reasoning.

Harvey Tenet is frontier-level on prominent legal benchmarks, performing on par with the strongest general models at an open-source cost and making it practical to run agents continuously across every matter.

It also lays the groundwork for what comes next: partnering with organizations to build specialized models around their own legal work. Two firms using Harvey will end up with different models and different outputs because their legal work has shaped their models differently.

When Harvey knows the work, you can trust it with more

In practice, this is what changes when an agent doesn’t start from scratch. You come back to an M&A matter in the morning. Harvey has worked through the latest batch of material contracts in the data room overnight and returned a first-pass review in your format, with the findings cited. It surfaced the agreements that need your attention, and opened the next review step for the lawyer who owns it. You didn’t have to rebuild the context, repeat how you want the work done, or route every step yourself.

Harvey II brings the pieces together. Agents open inside Spaces, where the context, history, people, tasks, and permissions for a matter or project stay with the work as it moves between agents and lawyers. Memory carries forward what Harvey has learned about how you work. And legal-specific intelligence lets those agents reason across all of it at significantly lower cost.

The work carries history and context. Your process carries preferences. Harvey II starts with both.

Welcome to the new Harvey.

Legal work has never lived entirely in text — exhibit images, deposition recordings, org charts buried in a merger agreement. Until now, Harvey could read the words around these but not the visuals or recordings themselves, which meant pulling files out to review by hand, or sending audio to a transcription vendor and waiting to re-upload it before analysis could even start.

That’s why Harvey now supports audio and video transcription along with enhanced image understanding.

Enhanced Image Understanding

Harvey can now visually interpret images, charts, graphs, and diagrams. Upload a standalone image, or a PDF, Word, or PowerPoint file with visual content, and ask your question. Then, Harvey will spot when visual inspection is needed and analyze the relevant page before answering.

Deal teams can read ownership structures straight out of a purchase agreement without redrawing them. Litigators can review patent drawings or trademark specimens directly. In-house teams working through chart-heavy filings or board materials can just ask Harvey what a chart shows, instead of transcribing it into text first.

Audio File Transcription

Drop an audio file into Assistant, or upload it to Vault, and Harvey transcribes it in the background — speaker-labeled, timestamped, and queryable like any other document. Supported formats: M4A, MP3, WAV, WebM, FLAC, OGG. Up to 500MB in Assistant, 4GB in Vault, two hours per file.

You can also record directly from the Harvey mobile app for depositions or client meetings for up to two hours, and the transcript saves straight to Vault with each speaker automatically labeled. Only the transcript is retained, not the original audio.

For law firms: Client calls, witness interviews, and internal case discussions can go straight from recording to searchable transcript, with no separate transcription step and no manual cleanup before analysis can start.

For in-house legal teams: Recorded regulatory interviews, internal investigation interviews, or board and compliance calls become queryable Harvey documents in minutes rather than sitting in an audio file that has to be reviewed in real time.

Video File Transcription

The same transcription works for video: MP4, MOV, AVI, DAV, WebM, up to two hours per file. For litigation teams, this means bulk-uploading a set of deposition videos into Vault and querying across all of them at once: surfacing contradictions, tracing a timeline, pulling every mention of an issue into a Review Table.

For law firms: This is built for the reality of litigation, where video evidence is constant: depositions, witness interviews, surveillance footage. A team can bulk-upload dozens or even hundreds of deposition videos into Vault and query across the entire set at once surfacing contradictions between witnesses, tracing a timeline across statements, or pulling every reference to a specific issue into a Review Table.

For in-house legal teams: Recorded interviews and video evidence sit alongside contracts and correspondence, and native video support means all of it can be reviewed in one platform instead of split across tools.

Why This Matters

With image, audio, and video now natively understood, Harvey can support end-to-end analysis, research, and drafting across the full range of evidence a matter actually contains, not just the parts that happen to be text. That means fewer handoffs between tools, faster turnaround from raw file to usable answer, and a more complete view of the record. Legal work has always been multimodal. Now Harvey is too.

The only legal AI platform that searches your full inbox, so you can draft replies faster and know what needs attention first.

A lawyer's inbox holds more than messages. It holds a client's last update, a redline from opposing counsel, a vendor contract request, the full history of a matter, and more. Making sense of it all takes time every day, whether you're an associate managing a full caseload or in-house counsel fielding requests from every corner of the business.

That's why we're introducing a new upgrade to Harvey for Outlook.

It is the first legal AI platform to bring full agentic power into your inbox, with the same reasoning and legal-specific grounding behind Harvey's web app and Harvey for Word.

A typical AI tool can only work with what you put in front of it: the pasted text, the named file, the precisely worded question. An agentic inbox means Harvey can take a broader set of instructions and decide on its own what's needed and where to find answers. Tell Harvey what you need — a drafted reply, all files related to a matter, a sense of what's urgent — and it goes to work across your inbox to assist you.

Draft and Revise Emails Without Leaving Outlook

Drafting a polished email reply takes time; Harvey for Outlook handles the heavy lifting for you. It grounds each reply in the matter, keeping you in control of every send, and matching how each client likes to hear from you — right where you already work.

Draft replies grounded in the matter

No more starting from a blank email or writing from memory. Harvey quickly drafts and revises a reply for you directly inside Outlook, grounded in your selected Vault documents and correspondences for the matter.

Stay in control of every send

Harvey never sends an email on its own. Every draft is written for you to review, and nothing goes out until you send it yourself. Additionally, if you ask Harvey for Outlook to revise a draft, the edits come back redlined, so you see exactly what’s changed before you send it.

Match client communication preferences with saved prompts

One client wants quick, direct updates; another expects detailed breakdowns. Now you can save how each client prefers to be communicated with as prompts, and every future draft will automatically follow their preferred communication style.

Search Your Entire Inbox, Get the Right Answer

Client instructions, negotiation history, and internal decisions all live somewhere in an inbox, and finding the right one gets harder as a matter progresses. When full inbox search is turned on, Harvey for Outlook makes getting answers from within your inbox as easy as asking a question.*

Search using plain language

Searching an inbox usually means knowing exactly the right keywords to use to find a specific email. Now you can ask Harvey for Outlook a direct question on a matter, in plain language, and it searches your entire inbox for the correct answer.

Get an answer backed by a citation

To provide a correct answer, Harvey reasons across every email in your inbox to find the one that answers your question, then returns it with a citation to the exact source. That way, you can verify the answer yourself instead of relying on memory or a guess.

Know What Needs Attention First

With thousands of emails in an inbox, there's no reliable way to know what actually needs a response first. Harvey for Outlook changes what "first" means. When full inbox search is turned on, Harvey reasons across your entire inbox — surfacing things like a court filing due today, a closing condition still outstanding, or a client waiting on an answer — so lawyers can start each day oriented to what needs their attention most.*

One Platform, Everywhere You Work

The improved Harvey for Outlook runs on the same platform as Harvey's web app and Harvey for Word, so you get the same reasoning and legal-specific grounding no matter where you're working. It's part of a larger effort to bring Harvey's agentic depth into the Microsoft tools lawyers already live in, alongside our recent updates to Harvey for Word and Harvey's integration with Microsoft Copilot and Copilot Cowork.

What Legal Teams are Saying About Harvey for Outlook

“We didn't want to run five different AI tools just to cover every use case. Being able to search email directly through Harvey for Outlook, without a separate purchase or license, solved a real gap for us. Before this, I would have to guess the exact words that were probably in an email — and sometimes that worked, sometimes it didn't. Now I can just describe what I'm looking for, and Harvey finds it.”

Noam Tzur
Partner, Meitar

“The ability to search within Harvey for Outlook itself for related emails and context has been genuinely game-changing for our team. I used it with no advanced setup, just asking what topics and documents I'd been working on with a colleague. It came back with everything organized by topic without me asking for that. That's when it became clear to me that this would change how we approach a matter from the start.”

Build a review-ready playbook that’s grounded in your contracts, precedents, and templates in minutes with Harvey's new playbook builder.

Contracting teams spend more than 40% of their time on routine, low-complexity contract work according to research from EY Law. Playbooks should help reduce that burden, but building them has traditionally been a slow and manual process. Teams stall on setup and end up without playbooks for important agreement types, or create playbooks that quickly grow stale and no longer reflect how they actually negotiate.

Harvey’s new playbook builder builds a review-ready playbook from your existing standards, a corpus of past documents, or from scratch through a guided conversation. In minutes, teams can move from knowledge scattered across documents and individual lawyers to a working standard that supports faster, more consistent first-pass reviews.

Build From Your Standards in Minutes

Most tools treat a playbook as static configuration with a form you fill in, one rule at a time. Harvey treats it as a living artifact you build, leveraging your existing playbooks, marked up contracts, a Harvey-curated template, or from scratch. Harvey analyzes your sources, asks clarifying questions, and drafts rules while a side-by-side panel shows the playbook taking shape in real time.

For example, an in-house team building an MSA playbook can provide its standard template and executed agreements and Harvey can then identify the team’s preferred liability cap, preserve common fallback positions, and surface outlier terms for confirmation instead of requiring lawyers to author every rule manually. As it works, Harvey applies the methodology Harvey’s legal engineers and in-house product lawyers developed while building more than 300 customer playbooks, including how to weigh different inputs, reconcile conflicting precedents, and translate them into rules that produce useful review output.

Capture How Your Team Actually Negotiates

A useful playbook does more than just identify acceptable and unacceptable language by capturing what lawyers do when a term falls between those extremes.

Harvey’s playbook builder helps teams build a playbook from existing materials or from scratch, then encode their preferred positions, fallback language, guidance, actions, conditions, and escalation paths. A data processing rule, for example, can direct Harvey to flag nonstandard breach notification terms for privacy counsel rather than automatically redlining them.

This turns individual know-how into a team-wide standard. More reviewers can handle routine agreements consistently, while the right issues are still escalated to the lawyers with the relevant expertise or authority.

Strengthen Every Rule With Confidence

Quality controls are built into the playbook creation process: Harvey can surface coverage gaps, make rules more specific, and suggest fallback positions. Each rule includes a summary, explanation, and citations to the source documents behind it, helping playbook owners review and approve it quickly.

Once the playbook is ready, you can run it against contracts in Word or the Harvey web app for consistent first-pass reviews. As your standards evolve, you can tell Harvey to update a fallback, liability cap, or escalation path instead of rebuilding the underlying rules manually, making it easier to keep your review guidance current.

For Carvana, scaling playbooks with Harvey reduced drafting and review time by 80%. By making standards easier to apply at scale, stronger playbooks help legal teams apply their standards consistently across greater contract volume and focus lawyer attention on the terms that require judgment.

Announcing Opus 5 in Harvey

Opus 5, the latest Anthropic model, is now available in Harvey. It builds on prior Anthropic models like Opus 4.8, with broad gains in legal accuracy across litigation and transactional work. In our early testing, Opus 5 scored 11.7% all-pass on our Legal Agent Benchmark (LAB), a meaningful step up relative to prior Opus models.

Notably, compared to Opus 4.8 at max reasoning, Opus 5 achieved similar performance at lower reasoning levels while generating 26% fewer tokens on average. This overall efficiency can help legal teams produce outputs that balance quality and succinctness at scale.

In particular, the model excels at transactional and disclosure-heavy work, demonstrating strength in practice areas like corporate governance, corporate M&A, energy, and real estate, where legal teams are often tasked to organize a large body of related material into a clear, well-structured deliverable. Compared to Opus 4.8, there were also clear gains in practice areas like arbitration and international disputes, where careful analysis of detailed factual records is critical.

Opus 5 is rolling out to Harvey customers starting this week for US customers, with EU and AU availability to follow.

Helping law firms scale AI adoption without compromising client confidentiality or conflict management.

As legal AI moves from chat to agents, the governance question has shifted. It's no longer whether AI can do the work. It's whether firms can deploy AI without compromising the professional responsibility obligations that matter most: managing conflicts of interest and protecting client confidentiality across every engagement.

Law firms run on trust. When a client hires a firm, they expect absolute confidentiality — that their data remains completely restricted from anyone who is not authorized to access it. Ethical walls are how firms manage that obligation. They screen lawyers from conflicting client matters, ensuring that sensitive deal terms, litigation strategy, and business intelligence stay walled off from anyone who shouldn't see it. Firms enforce these walls through conflict systems, DMS access controls, and administrative measures that together form the backbone of how information is governed across the firm. The problem is that most legal AI platforms sit outside that infrastructure entirely, leaving compliance dependent on attorney discipline rather than the same systematic enforcement that firms apply everywhere else.

Earlier this year, Harvey and Intapp announced a partnership to bring that enforcement into Harvey. Today, after an early access period for a select group of customers, the integration is generally available.

Closing the Governance Gap

With the Harvey and Intapp integration, firms can sync their existing Intapp Walls policies directly into Harvey, where they are enforced automatically across Harvey surfaces, including Threads, Vault, Review Tables, and Shared Spaces.

Intapp is the trusted provider of ethical wall enforcement for over 70% of AmLaw 100, delivering the proven infrastructure that compliance teams have already configured and validated. Unlike approaches that rely on indirect enforcement or parallel configurations, Harvey inherits walls directly from the source rather than recreating them in a separate system. Instead, it enforces the policies that Intapp already manages, and when access to a resource cannot be confirmed, Harvey blocks it.

This integration enables law firms to:

• Enforce Intapp walls automatically: When a wall is created or updated in Intapp Walls for AI, Harvey automatically syncs those policies across the platform. Attorneys see only the resources they are authorized to access. This eliminates manual configuration and removes reliance on individual discipline, so firms can roll out Harvey firm-wide in a scalable, controlled way.

• Get audit-ready from day one: Every enforcement event is traceable back to both systems. Intapp Walls for AI logs the wall configuration and policy source, while Harvey monitors every sync cycle, access attempt, and enforcement action across the platform. Together, compliance teams have the complete evidence trail they need to demonstrate strong governance to internal stakeholders, external regulators, and courts.

• Collaborate with confidence: Harvey's collaboration surfaces, including Shared Spaces, Workflows, and Playbooks, are all governed by the same Intapp Walls policies that protect the rest of the firm. Walls follow the work automatically, meaning attorneys can share and collaborate across practice groups and client teams without manually configuring access controls in a separate system. Sensitive matters stay protected without shutting down the collaboration that keeps the firm moving.

Activate Ethical Walls in Harvey With Intapp

This is the first step in Harvey's broader commitment to closing the governance gap. The Harvey and Intapp Walls integration requires both a cloud license and a separate Harvey connector license. If you are interested in enabling this integration for your workspace, please contact your Intapp representative to learn more.

Intapp Ethical Walls for AI will enable firms to enforce conflict-of-interest policies in Harvey by automatically restricting sharing based on matter-level access. The capability will integrate with existing systems and apply consistently across all products.

Harvey now integrates with your firm's existing Intapp Walls for AI policies and automatically enforces them inside Harvey during sharing. With ethical walls enabled, Harvey can:

• Mirror your existing Intapp Walls for AI policies
• Enforce walls across Threads, Vault, Review Tables, Shared Spaces, and Playbooks
• Support both inclusionary (restricted) and exclusionary (open) wall types
• Automatically associate client-matter numbers for synced folders, so iManage-synced Vault content inherits its client-matter number
• Revoke user access to matters automatically when wall policies change
• Monitor client matters and walls through the Matters & Walls page (previously referred to as Client Matters ) and dedicated admin audit logs

Why It Matters

You no longer need to manually recreate your firm’s ethical walls inside Harvey. Harvey syncs with your firm's existing Intapp Walls for AI policies and applies those restrictions automatically when users attempt to share content, even as staffing and client matters change.

How To Use

For instructions on setting up Intapp Walls for AI, refer to Setting Up Intapp Walls for AI (For Admins).
For more information about ethical walls, refer to Ethical Walls in Harvey.

Notes & Limitations

• Ethical walls govern sharing within Harvey only. Harvey does not control content that users share outside Harvey, such as email or chat.
• Walls apply workspace-wide and across Assistant Threads, Vaults, Review Tables, Spaces, and completed Workflow Agents.
• Sharing walled content requires a client matter to be attached to the resource.
• Available for cloud deployments only with a connector for Harvey.

FAQs

Q: Does Harvey create or manage the ethical walls?

No. Harvey enforces walls synced from Intapp Walls for AI. Creation and management of walls stay in Intapp, which remains your source of truth.

Q: What happens if wall policies change after content has been shared?

Any walls membership changes are pushed to Harvey, with those changes reflected in Harvey access restrictions typically within minutes. So, if a user becomes restricted from a matter, Harvey will automatically block their access to the associated content.

Q: Does this change day-to-day work in Harvey?

No. Users work normally and only encounter walls when they share content associated with a matter. Walls are not implicated if nothing is shared.

Create, edit, and test Harvey Playbooks with agents in Assistant.

What’s New

The playbook creation agent and editor have been enhanced so Playbook managers and editors can build and refine playbooks more effectively in Assistant.

Key Playbook Creation Updates

• When users ask Harvey to create a playbook in Assistant, the Playbook Creation Agent guides them through a series of questions to identify and upload the right source documents.
• The agent can build a playbook from multiple sources, including an existing playbook, a standard form, and executed precedent contracts.
• See a summary of each rule, including an explanation and citations to the source documents used to create it.
• Use one-click prompt suggestions to identify coverage gaps, make rules more specific, and add fallback positions.
• Refine and update the playbook by chatting conversationally with the agent. Users can also select individual rules and ask the agent to improve them.
• Key algorithm improvements leading to improved extraction, reasoning, and quality

Key Playbook Editor Updates

• Add, reorder, delete, and search across rules
• Set AI guidance, a field for users to give Harvey instructions on how to review / redline the contract (can be set at the Playbook or rule level).
• Set an Action on any rule that requires a human step or escalation during review, such as getting GC approval or looping in a specialist. Each Action has an optional Scenario describing when it applies and an Instruction describing what the reviewer should do.
• Capture more nuance with expanded rule fields, including guidance, positions, and support for conditional rules

Why It Matters

The updated Creation Agent asks clarifying questions and lets you refine everything conversationally, making it faster and simpler to shape a complete playbook that captures the nuance of your rules and positions.

How to Use

For instructions, notes and tips on building playbooks, refer to Create a Playbook.

FAQs

Q: Can I still edit existing Playbooks manually?

Yes. The form editor remains available and unchanged, and you can switch between conversational editing in Assistant and manual editing at any time.

Q: Is there a new Playbook permission or admin setting?

No. This feature uses the existing Playbooks permission structure. Users with Playbook creator or Playbook manager permissions see the new capabilities, and users without them see no change.

What’s New

Upload an audio file directly in an Assistant conversation or to Vault, and Harvey transcribes it automatically. The transcript is returned as a Word (.docx) file you can read, query over, and edit. Key features include:

• Automatic speaker labels (”Speaker 1”, “Speaker 2”) and a timestamp at the start of each speaker's turn
• Automatic language detection, so you don't need to specify the language
• Support for M4A, MP3, WAV, WebM, FLAC, and OGG files, up to 2 hours per file
• Two ways to correct a transcript: the Word editor side panel or a request to Assistant (for example, renaming a speaker label)

Why It Matters

You no longer need a separate tool or workflow to turn your audio files from depositions, client interviews, hearings, and calls into usable text. This feature brings transcription directly into Harvey, allowing you to transform a raw recording into a searchable, editable transcript without leaving the web app.

How To Use

For instructions and tips on using audio transcription, refer to Transcribing Audio Files in Harvey.

Assistant now plans complex, multi-step requests before running them, checks in with you at key decision points, and lets you track multiple tasks in parallel.

Harvey now lets you hand off complex, multi-step legal work and move on to other priorities. In Assistant, you can now describe the full objective of your task and Harvey takes it from there — presenting a multi-step plan, finding relevant materials, checking in with you at key decision points, and delivering a finished work product.

Run multiple tasks in parallel

• Run multiple tasks in parallel. Start several workstreams at once and track each from the Active Threads Panel on the home screen.
• Review before work begins. For complex requests, ask Assistant for a structured plan (Plan Mode). You can approve, edit, or skip before it starts.
• Stay oriented while it works. A live Progress Tracker shows what the agent is doing now and what's coming up next.
• Get pulled in only when needed. If Harvey hits an ambiguous decision point, it will ask a clarifying question rather than guess.
• Get notified via email. You can select Notify Me to receive an email when the task is completed.
• Come back to finished work. Review outputs — including Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files — and the sources behind them in the Context Panel when the task is complete.

Why it Matters

Complex requests, like reviewing a full data room or building a research deck, used to require staying in the thread and directing Assistant step by step. Now you can hand off the full task, check the plan before Assistant commits to an approach, and step away while it runs. This cuts down on rework from misaligned assumptions and lets you run several workstreams in parallel instead of one at a time.

How to Use

You can find more information and step-by-step guidance in our Working on Complex Tasks in Assistant article.

You can now receive email notifications when a review table finishes generating or when a review table is shared with you, so you no longer have to stay on the page to know when your work is done.

What's New

You can now receive an email notification when:

• A review table finishes generating
• A review table is shared with you

Note: Email notifications for review table exports are coming soon.

Why It Matters

Previously, review tables only sent an email notification for row assignment. Everything else required you to stay on the page and watch for it, which made it easy to lose track of a table you'd navigated away from.

With email notifications, you can start other work in parallel and get notified the moment your table is ready, and you'll know immediately when a colleague shares a table with you.

How to Use

Harvey will automatically send you review table email notifications based on your preferences.

You can manage your review table email preferences in Harvey within Settings → Notifications under the Review table section. You can find more information in our Manage Notification Settings article.

Note: Admins need to enable review table notifications for the workspace before users can adjust their own notification preferences. Additionally, your workspace’s sensitive data setting must be turned on to enable exports.

FAQs

Q: What level of access to a review table triggers a sharing notification?

You'll receive a sharing notification whenever you're granted view or edit access, whether that's through an individual share or a group share. This applies to both internal and external collaborators.

Review tables now support in-line editing for every cell, so teams can correct outputs directly without extra clicks.

What’s New

You can now make in-line edits to any cell in a review table, including cells with AI-generated outputs.

• Double-click any cell to edit it directly in place.
• Save changes instantly by pressing enter or clicking away.
• Correct AI outputs directly without opening an additional modal.

Why It Matters

Previously, only manually entered cells supported in-line editing. AI-generated cells required opening the cell details menu and clicking an edit icon, an extra step that slowed down review. With this change, every cell behaves the same way, so teams can quickly correct AI-extracted information when needed.

FAQs

Q: Can I add a line break while editing in-line?

No. Open the cell's details and use the edit option there to add multiple lines.

Q: What happens if I edit a cell that Ask over Review already cited?

The older citation shows a "previous version" banner, so you can tell the cited content has since changed.
