The Q3 2023 release of the Litera Drafting suite brings exciting updates aimed at optimizing document workflows and enhancing collaboration. In this blog post, we'll delve into the key improvements made to Litera's drafting products: Litera Numbering, Contract Companion, Litera Compare, and Metadact.
Litera Numbering: Making Document Numbering a Breeze
Litera Numbering is a Microsoft Word tool that simplifies the often tedious task of numbering, creating tables of content, and adding DocIDs to legal documents. This release brings two noteworthy enhancements:
- Increased Visibility of Numbering Schemes: Understanding available numbering schemes is crucial when drafting documents. Litera Numbering now allows users to preview numbering schemes in the Litera ribbon, making it easier to select the right one. This feature is especially valuable for Innova customers transitioning to Litera Create.
- Improved Performance for Tables of Content: Legal professionals work under tight deadlines, and this update delivers an average 80% reduction in load times for the Table of Content task pane. Now, you can create, edit, and insert Tables of Content swiftly, keeping pace with your demanding workload.
Contract Companion: Your AI-Powered Proofreading Partner
Contract Companion, a part of Litera Check, is designed to streamline the proofreading process for legal professionals. Here are the improvements you can expect:
- Enhanced Accuracy: Precision is paramount when proofreading legal documents. This release reduces false positives, ensuring that Contract Companion's proofreading is more reliable than ever.
- Proofreading for International Terms: For legal professionals dealing with global clients, precise references are essential. Contract Companion now includes additional US and international terms in its dictionary, covering Canadian regulations, Canadian statutes, US Federal statutes, US company names, UK legislation, New Zealand statutes, and Australian statutes.
Litera Compare Desktop: Elevating Document Comparison
Litera Compare is a document comparison tool trusted by 99% of Am Law 100 firms. The Q3 2023 release brings enhancements to streamline your workflow:

- Enhanced Visibility into Document Changes: The new "link to move" feature allows users to quickly understand how changes were made in the document, saving time and improving efficiency.
Metadact: Protecting Your Documents and Data
Metadact, a metadata cleaning solution, ensures that you share clean, professional documents without risking sensitive information leakage. This release brings:
