Hi there đ,
Welcome to the latest edition of The InsideVu! Hereâs a recap of the features we released in February, a preview of whatâs coming next to help you prepare, and a list of not-to-miss events.

Kind regards,

Seamlessly edit LawVu documents in Word Desktop
Based on your feedback, you can now open Word documents from LawVu directly in Microsoft Word Desktop for editing. A new action next to every .docx file lets you open it directly in Word Desktop. Once open, our add-in launches automatically, allowing you to save changes back to LawVu with one click. The add-in stays open if you want to make further edits and save again.
Weâve also added automatic version detectionâif someone else edits the document while you have it open, youâll get a warning to avoid losing changes.
Just click the three dots next to the document and select Edit in Word.
Youâre also able to access the option to Edit in Word from the file preview:

Workspace Intelligence: AI-powered workflows
LawVuâs latest AI features are about to go live! Seamlessly embedded into your product experience, these features are designed to help you get through core workflows faster, while maintaining the highest standards of security. Your data will remain secure and will never be used to train AI models. You can see a quick demo of these features now:
Key date extraction: Easily extract fixed and inferred key dates, so you can stay on top of obligations with less effort
Contract summaries: Spend less time scrolling, reading, and writing with quick contract summaries
Contract Q&A: Query contracts using natural language to instantly surface key terms, conditions, and insightsâallowing you to conduct thorough contract analysis without tedious manual reviews
Matter manager suggestions: Get matters from your intake queue to the right people faster, with recommendations based on past patterns and current workload
Please note: The new standard AI features are free for customers on the Essentials, Ultimate, and Matters plan. If youâre unsure which plan youâre on, contact your Customer Success Manager.
Once available, your LawVu admins will receive a notification, allowing them to activate the new features for you to use. We expect this to happen in the next few weeks and canât wait to hear what you think!
File access for standard users
Enhanced file access for Standard users is coming soon! These improvements streamline document management and collaboration with business users, making the process faster and more efficientâall while maintaining the robust security you trust.
Here's how everyone gets more visibility and control:
Standard users can now preview, access and collaborate on files they upload or are granted access to
Legal can use a three tiered approach to choose what level of access to files any user has
Any user can browse files through matter or contract previews in the Business Portal or legal workspace
Once these enhancements go live, your LawVu admins will be notified, and in-app launch guides will highlight the new features. As always, we look forward to hearing your feedback!
