Purpose
In this article, we will address frequently asked questions while using LegalOn in Word:
1. Does using Word Add-in prevent me from using Word-native functionalities (e.g., redlining, commenting)?
No, it doesn't interfere. The Word Add-in enhances your experience by adding extra features and functionalities, all while seamlessly integrating with Microsoft Word's native features.
2. Where will in-line comments be displayed in Word?
In-line comments in Word will be displayed in the same place with or without the Word Add-in.
3. How does saving and versioning work inside LegalOn Contract AI?

4. Am I still able to protect my document (e.g., protect document for: track changes, comments, read only, forms) if I use LegalOn Contract AI?
Yes, you can still protect your document while using LegalOn Contract AI.
5. Will using the Word Add-in affect how the “author” of redlines / comments is identified in Word?
No, it doesn't. If you’d like to remove your personal details or other metadata from Word, check out this Help page on Microsoft’s website.
6. If I open multiple documents in Word (with the Word Add-in enabled), can LegalOn Assistant answer questions for all open documents or do I have to search each one at a time using LegalOn Assistant?
LegalOn Assistant does not answer questions for all open documents. We’d recommend submitting queries for each document separately.
7. What are the key differences between using Microsoft Word-native compare tool and using the compare tool from LegalOn web app?
In a nutshell, the compare tool in LegalOn web app offers better usability.
In the latest version of Microsoft Word 365, the compare tool can analyze two documents but only produces a single document with redlines. This is limiting for users who prefer to view comparisons side-by-side, a feature available in older versions of Microsoft Word.
The LegalOn web app offers a more flexible and user-friendly document comparison feature than Microsoft Word. Users can compare two documents side-by-side, or focus on full text and individual articles.

Yes, you will remain logged in until no action is detected for seven consecutive days.
9. Does LegalOn Contract AI support password-protected files?
