Redline-register support for legal teams
Track document versions, reviewers, and change questions without explaining negotiated language or approving a draft.
Defined workflowAttorney review gatesPractical escalation
Name each version
Record document title, counterparty, version date, source, reviewer, and status. Keep the clean and redline files connected but distinct.
Describe changes neutrally
A register can point to changed sections or unresolved comments. It should not summarize the legal effect of a clause unless counsel supplies the wording.
Close only by instruction
The authorized reviewer decides whether comments are resolved and which version is operative. Preserve the approval and release evidence with the register.
