# What?

### **What are Checklists?**

The Checklists feature provides a semi-automated way to review legal documents based on predefined items. Unlike fully automated GenAI reviews, checklists rely on human input but offer digital support for tracking, annotating, and improving specific legal requirements.

Each checklist item corresponds to a review rule, often derived from internal playbooks or legal team discussions. These items serve as reminders, review prompts, or actionable points, especially helpful for junior lawyers or for complex contracts that don’t lend themselves to full automation.

Checklists can also be interactive: users can mark off completed items, assign review statuses, add notes, or even trigger redrafting suggestions via GenAI. This makes them ideal for teams who want structure in their reviews without fully handing over control to AI.
