Evidence and Document Review

Why Evidence Context Matters

A lawyer needs more than extracted text to assess a notice, agreement or scanned attachment. The original page may contain wording or context that extraction did not preserve accurately.

Evidence staff also need to locate a file without first remembering its Matter. A filename match and a readable, current passage are different results, especially while processing is incomplete.

Document review connects authorized discovery with the selected Matter’s evidence tools. Staff can inspect readiness, open the original and review source-bound proposals before using the content in legal work.

How It Works

Discover permitted filenames

Search filenames across currently accessible Matters and inspect the named client, Matter and document result. Within a Matter, local list filters remain distinct from global discovery.

Check processing and coverage

Read the file’s current processing state and coverage. A failed or incomplete file may still appear by filename; that does not make its contents ready evidence for research.

Compare a supported PDF

Open the original PDF page alongside extracted text. Recorded OCR regions and confidence information help orient the review; unavailable coordinates must not be treated as an exact verified highlight.

Review proposed changes and tables

Use source-bound Redline and Tabular workflows where enabled. Inspect the exact selected source and proposed finding; an acknowledgment or accepted proposal does not silently rewrite the original evidence.

The Difference

Without coordinated evidence review

With document review linked to sources

A file’s Matter must be remembered first.

Search authorized filenames across accessible Matters.

Extracted text is read without its original page.

Open supported original PDF pages for comparison.

Processing failures are mistaken for empty evidence.

Inspect processing state and evidence coverage.

Proposed edits lose their source context.

Review changes against exact source selections.

Review tables are copied away from the file.

Keep table findings connected to their passages.

Built for Evidence Checked Against Original Pages

An accented filename remains identifiable through discovery and original download.

A reviewer can compare a physical PDF page with extracted wording.

A failed extraction remains distinguishable from a completed evidence search.

Frequently Asked Questions

Global filename discovery searches currently accessible Matters and identifies the client, Matter and file. The result opens the permitted record and does not confer access after membership is revoked.

A filename may appear even when processing failed or remains incomplete. Staff must check current readiness and coverage before treating the contents as readable evidence.

Original-page comparison helps the reviewer inspect wording. OCR confidence or a recorded region is supporting information; it does not independently verify transcription accuracy or the legal meaning of the text.

Review proposals keep their source and version bindings. Staff must inspect and explicitly review the proposed change; the original evidence is not silently rewritten by a suggestion or acknowledgment.

Read the current explanation and retained-original options, inspect saved state and follow the named recovery step. Do not treat failed processing as a successful empty result or automatically repeat an uncertain upload.
