Definition Tracking
This feature helps you find and understand defined terms in your legal documents. Instead of searching through the entire document to find what a term means, the system shows you the definition right away.
Main Benefits
Quick Access to Definitions
- Select any defined term to see its meaning in the sidebar
- Jump to where the term is defined in the document by clicking the "split window" icon
- Find definitions from anywhere in your document
Smart Definition Connections
- When a definition contains other defined terms, these are highlighted
- Click on any highlighted term to see its definition too
Checks
The system alerts you about:
- Defined terms that are never used in the document
- Terms defined more than once
- Inconsistent capitalization (example: defining "Agreement" but later writing "agreement")
- You can dismiss any alert you do not need
Definition Comparison
- Compare definitions with those in your other documents
- Requires connecting your internal files first (see Internal Data Synchronization)
How to Use Definition Tracking
View Definitions
You can view definitions in two ways:
- Select a term directly in your document text
- Browse the list of defined terms in the "cards" tab
- Use the search bar to find specific terms
Understanding Definition Cards
When you select a term, you'll see a card in the sidebar showing:
- The complete definition of the term
- Any other defined terms within that definition (highlighted)
- An "Occurrences" tab that shows all places where the term appears in your document
Word Forms
SingleDraft recognizes different forms and declensions of the same word. For example, if "Contract" is defined, it will also find "Contracts" in your document.
