Redline a Document

Redline a Document

Have your document in the
Edit
or
Review
stage.
You can use redlining to compare 2 contract versions. You can then create a
redline
, a third version of the contract that displays the text you added or removed as tracked changes. You can accept or reject these changes.
This redline version is the same as the revised version, but it highlights all changes from the original as tracked changes that a reviewer can accept or reject.
You can’t edit PDF files directly in the document editor. You can use the Convert_to_Docx.png function in our document viewer to create a new .docx version. You can then edit the .docx version in our editor using the features outlined in this article.
You can only convert the latest version of your document. We generate a .docx file, and this file becomes the new version in your workflow ticket.
