Advantages 👍

Advantages

- Export flexibility: The tool allowed both redline and clean versions, cutting out an extra round of Word edits.
Drawbacks
- English only: Agreements containing French sections were ignored rather than translated or assessed, forcing a manual review.
- File-size ceiling: Anything above 5 MB triggered an error message; splitting large appendices became a routine chore.
- Browser-based limitation: There is no desktop client, so a solid internet connection is mandatory during revisions on the move.
- Cost for casual users: The monthly plan makes sense for firms handling contracts daily, yet startups with fewer documents may hesitate.
- No third-party storage sync: I still had to download files before sending them to SharePoint, adding an extra step.
