Understanding Basic and Advanced Mode in Draft

Draft is designed to make legal document creation both fast and flexible. Depending on your requirement, you can choose between Basic and Advanced modes.

Basic Mode (Default)

When you open Draft, you will land on Basic mode by default. This mode is built for simplicity, allowing you to start drafting without going through multiple steps.

In Basic mode, you only need to describe what you want, and Draft will generate a document for you.

Key features of Basic mode:

• Minimal inputs required
• Faster document generation
• No need to select drafting type
• Clean and simple interface

When to use Basic mode:

• You need a quick first draft
• Your requirements are straightforward
• You want to save time and avoid detailed setup

Advanced Mode

Advanced mode is designed for users who need more control over how their document is created. It provides additional options to customize the drafting process.

Once you switch to Advanced mode, you can choose how you want to proceed and define specific drafting preferences.

Key features of Advanced mode:

• Option to select Reactive drafting or Proactive drafting
• Ability to provide detailed drafting instructions
• Control over tone, structure, and formatting
• Option to define the level of detail in the output

Reactive vs Proactive in Advanced Mode

Within Advanced mode, you can choose between two drafting approaches:

Reactive Drafting

• Used when responding to an existing document
• Requires uploading or referencing the document
• Ideal for replies, notices, or document reviews

Proactive Drafting

• Used when creating a document from scratch
• Requires detailed input about the requirement
• Ideal for contracts, agreements, and petitions

Choosing the Right Mode

Selecting the right mode depends on your use case:

• Use Basic mode for speed and simplicity
• Use Advanced mode when you need precision and control
• Use Reactive drafting when working with an existing document
• Use Proactive drafting when creating a new one

Summary

• Basic mode helps you get started instantly with minimal effort
• Advanced mode gives you full control over the drafting process
• Both modes lead to the same drafting capability — the difference lies in the level of control and setup
