Review: Overview and how to use it

Updated over 3 weeks ago

What is Review?

The Review feature automatically scans uploaded contracts to detect provisions that may pose a risk — such as clauses that are unfavorable or missing key terms — and highlights them as LegalOn Playbooks.


Supported contract types

See the [Supported file types for uploading to LegalOn] for the available types.


File Requirements

⚠️ For long contracts with many pages, heavy file load may cause processing errors.


How to run a Review

1. Open the contract

  • Go to the [Contracts] list.

  • Click the file you want to check.

2. Prepare the file

  • If the file is a PDF, click [Convert to Word] in the File Detail view.

3. Start the review

  1. In the File detail view, click [Review].

  2. In Review details:

    • Check [LegalOn Playbooks].

    • Select Contract type and Your position.

    • Click [Start review].

The file will open in the editor, with risk alerts shown on the right.

📌 To see how to interpret results, see: [How to view contract review results].

Quick review via Dashboard

You can also run a Review immediately after uploading:

  1. Upload your file by clicking [+ Select contract] or by drag-and-drop.
    → The top workspace you have “Contributor” or higher access for will be pre-selected.

  2. Check your Review details and click [Start review].

Run a Review with different settings

To run a check with a different contract type or role:

  1. Click [Review settings] at the top of your Review result.

  2. Adjust:

    • Check [LegalOn Playbooks].

    • Select a new Contract type and Your position.

    • Click [Start review].

Changing settings will overwrite your previous Review progress.

🗂️ If you want to keep the old results, download them first.
See: [Downloading My Playbook review results].

Important Notes

  • Changing the Contract information (contract type or position) will not update your Review details automatically. Always adjust them directly.

  • For best performance, keep files within the recommended size range.

  • Multiple Playbook Alerts can be run together with Review. See [How to review using My Playbooks and view the results].
