Cross-referencing 🖇️

With Juro's cross-reference function, references to a particular clause will automatically update if that clause's position in a list changes.

To get started:

1. Create a list on your contract.

2. Click the crossreference icon in the formatting bar and select the relevant clause from the dropdown menu or search for it in the search bar.

3. Incomplete crossreferences, which occur if the linked clause is deleted outright, will be underlined in gold for ease of reference.

Tables 📐

Tables can be used in Juro to:

display information, such as pricing, or;
add branding to your document

Presenting information using a table 🗺️

For storing information, tables are very straightforward.

To add a table:

Start a new line on the document where you'd like your table to be
Click the table icon in the formatting bar or the one that appears on the editor itself (this icon will only show in the formatting bar when a new line has been started).
A table with 2x rows and 3x columns will appear: you can add columns or rows to the table by clicking the + symbol for the relevant row/column.

To remove a table column or row, click the bin icon for the relevant row/column. See the above image for further guidance.

Adding images using a table 💄

To add images to your contract, you can place an image inside a table with transparent borders.

Once you have placed the image within the table by dragging and dropping it from your desktop, you can make the borders of your table transparent. To do this:

Select your table
Click on the Toggle Borders icon (this will appear when you hover your mouse pointer over the table itself

Merging cells and setting background colour 🗜️

You can merge and split cells in Juro by highlighting the relevant columns and clicking the Merge cells icon. From here, you can also select a background colour for the selected cells.

Tables with merged cells will retain their formatting when the document they're in is uploaded into Juro.

Adding page breaks 📃

You can manually add page breaks on the editor to give you better visibility of your document's final layout.

Page breaks will also appear automatically on your document to give you an idea of where these will fall when the document is downloaded as a PDF file.

To add a page break:

1. Click on the section of the editor where you'd like to place the page break.

2. Click the Add page break icon in the formatting bar or where it appears on the editor itself.

Exported PDF documents will retain page breaks to give you more formatting options and better control over the structure of the presentation of your contract.

💡 NOTE: Because of slight differences in width between most browsers and the PDF format, some page breaks may appear as falling in the middle of a sentence on the editor. Rest assured, this is not how it will appear to the counterparty or in the final export.

If you close all Juro side tabs and maximise the browser window, the page breaks will display as normal. Smaller screens may also require you to zoom out to achieve this.

Setting your page format 📄

If you'd like to set a page format that is different from Juro's editor, you can configure your page size margins in your document's Settings:

1. Under the TEMPLATE ACTIONS heading, click Page setup.

2. Click the PAPER FORMAT dropdown and select the page format you'd like to apply to your document

Adding headers, footers and page numbers 🎩

Juro templates have headers enabled by default. To show a header or footer, hover over the top or bottom of the first page and double-click.

From here, you add text, drag and drop images and create tables as normal. In the Options menu, you can add page numbers to your document and remove the header altogether.

3. To set the measurements of your header / footer, go to the Settings section of your document and click Page Setup.

Adding rules using the formatting bar 📏

You can add the conditional logic you've already set up directly from the formatting bar. To do this:
