What is Spellbook Associate
Spellbook's Associate feature is a web app that focuses on multi-document workflows. It makes it easy to compare documents, revise document templates based on reference documents or ask questions about multiple documents at once.
Spellbook Word App vs Associate
The Spellbook Word app is intended for single-document work and focuses on reviewing and drafting a single doc. It is best to use Spellbook's Word app when you want to redline and mark up a single document or flag risks and improvements.
Spellbook's Associate app is best for multi-document workflows. This is when you need to revise a template based on reference documents or compare other documents. It is not intended for drafting clauses or documents from scratch, which is better suited for the Spellbook Word app. The Associate feature is best for doing comparisons or revising a template document based on other reference documents.
