# What?

### What is Bulk Compare

The Bulk Compare feature allows you to compare one base document against up to 100 other documents and view all variations in a single integrated overview.

Instead of going through dozens of one-on-one comparisons, Bulk Compare highlights every paragraph that was changed across all documents, giving you immediate insight into where the deviations are. The more frequently a paragraph was changed, the darker it will be highlighted.

Each variation can be reviewed in detail, showing which document contains exactly which change. You can then jump into a full side-by-side comparison for a specific version, or export all comparisons at once as a DOCX or PDF file.

Bulk Compare works with both Word and PDF files. While DOCX comparisons are very fast and clean, PDF comparisons may involve some conversion noise, especially for scanned documents. Still, this feature enables fast, practical analysis of large sets of agreements, templates or policies without requiring any technical setup or training.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.clausebuddy.com/bulk-compare/what.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
