Editing & Refining Drafts

The Rich Text Editor

Once your draft is ready, you land in a full text editor rather than a plain answer, so you can polish it right there instead of exporting it elsewhere first. Along the top, you can see the draft's status (e.g. Complete), how long it took, and basic stats, plus quick actions: Copy, Listen, Download, and Sources (same as ASK and Interact). A Saved indicator confirms your edits are being autosaved as you go.

Below that is a proper formatting toolbar: change the font and size, undo or redo, apply bold/italic/underline/strikethrough, change text or highlight color, insert headings and lists, adjust indentation and alignment, add quotes or links, and use Find in document to search and jump between matches within the draft.

Checking Where Something Came From

Hovering over a small reference number in the text (for example [16]) pops up a preview showing exactly which document it's pulled from, whether that's your own uploaded document or a legal authority Draft brought in through research, along with the relevant excerpt and an Open source document button to view it directly.

Ask AI Within the Editor

This is where Draft goes beyond a plain editor. Select any portion of text and a floating toolbar appears letting you ask AI to work on just that selection:

• Improve, Shorten, Expand, Formalize, Simplify, or Fix grammar, one click applies that change to the highlighted text only, leaving the rest of the document untouched.

• Ask AI: Type (or speak) a specific instruction for that selection instead, for example asking it to add judicial precedents supporting a submission, and it rewrites just that portion accordingly, useful for clause-level edits or pulling in legal precedent for a specific paragraph without touching the rest of the draft.

Reviewing and Accepting AI Suggestions

Once AI rewrites something, you're not forced to accept it outright. You get a choice:

• Replace the original text with the new version
• Insert below it instead of replacing what's there
• Try again if the result isn't quite right
• Discard it altogether

If you go ahead, the change appears as a tracked edit, an underlined insertion or a struck-through deletion, much like Word's track changes, with a small tick to Accept or a cross to reject it before it's finalized into the document.

Working with Completed Drafts

The Sources panel shows how many sources were retrieved in total, how many were actually cited, and whether the draft is grounded in them. Switch between Referred (only what's actually used) and All (everything retrieved).

Each source card shows what it is, whether that's your own uploaded document or an external legal authority (like a relevant Income Tax Act judgment), a relevance score, and a short excerpt, with options to open or download it.

The details box alongside also tells you the draft's status, what type of document it is, which team it belongs to, when it was created, and which AI model generated it, useful context to keep on hand if you revisit the draft later.
