2. Web Viewer Tab

  • Open the file in the web viewer.

  • Go to the AI Summary tab.

  • Click to generate a summary directly from within the viewer.


Working in the AI Summary Tab

When viewing a summarized document:

  • Live Edit – Make changes to the AI-generated summary directly in the editor.

  • Toggle Views – Switch between the Original Document and AI Summary using the top-right toggle.

  • Layout & Insert Tools – Within the AI Summary tab, you can:

    • Change the layout

    • Insert breaks, tables, and images into the summary

  • Download & Save – Export the edited summary to your device or save it within the case file for future reference.


Summary Storage

  • Generated summaries are saved alongside the case file.
