Use Your Internal Knowledge
SingleDraft connects to your firm’s document library and lets you search for relevant clauses without leaving Word. This guide explains how to use the Snippets feature to find, compare, and reuse content from past documents.
Searching for Clauses
Section titled “Searching for Clauses”Text Search
Section titled “Text Search”Type a few words into the search bar in the Snippets tab,
for example contractual penalty. SingleDraft uses a
combination of keyword matching and semantic search to find
relevant results. This means it returns clauses with the
same wording (e.g., contractual penalty) as well as
clauses with a similar meaning (e.g., fines or
liquidated damages).
Drag-and-Drop Search
Section titled “Drag-and-Drop Search”You can also search by selecting text in your document and dragging it into the search bar. SingleDraft automatically finds clauses similar to the selected text.
Filtering Results
Section titled “Filtering Results”Basic Filters
Section titled “Basic Filters”Use filters to narrow your search. Filter values are extracted automatically from your synced documents — you do not need to tag or sort files manually.
For example, to find only English-language clauses, select
English in the language filter.
Advanced Filters
Section titled “Advanced Filters”Combine multiple filters for more specific results. For example, you can search for English-language clauses from contracts governed by German law by selecting both filters at the same time.
As you add filters, the remaining filter options update to reflect what is available. This helps you see at a glance which combinations exist in your document library.
Intelligent Filter Suggestions
Section titled “Intelligent Filter Suggestions”If your search query contains terms that match a filter,
SingleDraft suggests the relevant filter automatically.
For example, searching for contractual penalty last year
prompts a suggestion to apply a date filter.
Comparing Clauses
Section titled “Comparing Clauses”To compare a clause in your current document with a search result, drag and drop text from the document into the search results panel. SingleDraft displays the two clauses side by side so you can review the differences.
Organizing Results
Section titled “Organizing Results”Personal Lists
Section titled “Personal Lists”Save any clause to a personal list. Lists are private to you and can be used as filters in future searches.
Add tags to clauses to organize or annotate them. Tags are visible to all team members and can also be used as search filters.
Integration with Other Features
Section titled “Integration with Other Features”Definition Lookup
Section titled “Definition Lookup”In the Checks feature, defined terms from the current document can be used as a filter to find clauses in past documents that contain alternative definitions of the same term.
AI Assistant
Section titled “AI Assistant”The AI Assistant can access your firm’s knowledge base to provide context-aware suggestions when drafting or reviewing documents.
