ReviewPro is a Google Docs sidebar that uses AI to review your contracts. You select a playbook, ReviewPro analyzes your document, and you get structured insights with proposed changes. You can then generate a redlined copy of your document with those changes shown as Google Docs suggestions.

This User Guide guide covers everything you need to know as a contract reviewer.

Get from an open contract to a redlined document in five steps.

In your Google Doc, go to Extensions > ReviewPro > Open ReviewPro. The ReviewPro sidebar appears on the right side of your document.

Click Sign In. A login window opens — enter your LegalSifter credentials and complete authentication. The window closes automatically and the sidebar loads your account.

If the login window doesn’t appear, your browser may be blocking popups. Allow popups for docs.google.com and try again.

The Playbooks tab shows your available playbooks. Use the search bar to filter by name if needed. Find the playbook you want and click Redline.

ReviewPro analyzes your document. You’ll see progress stages as the analysis runs (typically 30–60 seconds). When complete, the sidebar automatically switches to the Redlines tab showing your results:

• Provisions group related findings together (click to expand/collapse)

• Positions show specific clauses to evaluate, with importance levels (High, Medium, Low)

• Action cards show individual findings — click one to jump to that location in your document

After reviewing the insights, click Create Redlined Document. ReviewPro generates a new copy of your document with all proposed changes shown as Google Docs suggestions. The new document opens in a new tab.

​

The ReviewPro sidebar is available from the Google Docs menu:

Extensions > ReviewPro > Open ReviewPro

The sidebar opens on the right side of your document. If you’ve used ReviewPro before on this document, it may restore your previous review session automatically.

When the sidebar opens, you’ll see a sign-in prompt: “Sign in to review your contract with ReviewPro.”

1. Click Sign In.

2. A login window opens. Enter your email and password.

3. After successful authentication, the window closes and the sidebar loads.

You’ll need to sign in each time you open the sidebar. This is a security measure to protect your account.

After signing in, the sidebar has three tabs at the bottom:

The active tab is highlighted with an orange indicator.

​

The Playbooks tab is where you choose which playbook to use for reviewing your document.

Each playbook card shows:

• Name — the playbook title

• Description — a summary of what the playbook covers

• Redline button — click to start the review

Some playbooks may show an Inactive badge in red, indicating they are not currently available for use.

Use the Search playbooks... bar at the top to filter playbooks by name. The list updates as you type.

Once you’ve found the right playbook, click the Redline button on its card. This begins the analysis of your document.

If you see a “View Only” message instead of the Redline button, your account has read-only access. Contact your admin to get reviewer access.

​

After clicking Redline, the sidebar shows the analysis progress with animated stages. Each stage moves through three states:

• Gray circle — waiting to start

• Blue spinner — in progress

• Green checkmark — complete

The analysis typically takes 30–60 seconds. Stay on the page while it runs — you can continue working in your document during this time.

Once the analysis finishes, the sidebar automatically switches to the Redlines tab and displays your results. You’ll see a message confirming the analysis is complete, along with a button to create your redlined document.

If the analysis takes longer than expected, you’ll see an error message with a Retry option.

Once the analysis finishes, you will see an option to create a new Google document with the redlines (suggestions) based on the analysis.

• Click Create Redlined Document. The button shows “Creating...” while the document is being prepared.

• When ready, the new document opens automatically in a new browser tab.

• The sidebar shows an Open Redlined Document link so you can return to it later.

The new document is a copy of your original with ReviewPro’s proposed changes shown as Google Docs suggestions:

• Proposed deletions appear as suggestion strikethroughs

• Proposed insertions appear as suggestion additions

You can accept or reject each suggestion individually using Google Docs’ built-in suggestion tools, just like any other Google Docs suggestion.

When you open the redlined document, you can reactivate the ReviewPro sidebar, which will automatically load the analysis results for that document. You can click action cards to navigate to specific clauses, just like in the original document.

​

The Redlines tab presents your analysis results in a structured hierarchy.

Results are organized in three levels:

• Provisions — top-level groupings of related contract topics (collapsible sections)

• Positions — specific clauses or concepts within a provision, each with an importance level

• Action Cards — individual findings with proposed changes

Each provision is a collapsible section. Click the provision header to expand or collapse it. The footer of each provision shows a summary count of the actions it contains.

Use the Expand All and Collapse All buttons at the top to toggle all provisions at once.

Within each provision, positions represent specific contract clauses to evaluate. Each position shows:

• Position name

• Importance badge — color-coded by priority:

– High (red) — critical items requiring attention

– Medium (orange) — important but less urgent

– Low (blue) — informational or minor items

• Guidance (optional) — click to expand helpful context about this position

Action cards are the individual findings from the analysis. Each card shows the name of the finding.

Clicking an action card does two things:

• Navigates your cursor to the relevant location in the document (highlighted briefly in yellow)

• Expands the card to show proposed changes

When an action card is expanded, you’ll see the suggested changes:

• Remove: — text shown in strikethrough that ReviewPro suggests deleting

• Add: — text shown in green that ReviewPro suggests inserting

• Modified: — if you’ve previously edited the proposed text, the modified version appears here

Not all action cards have proposed text changes. Some are alerts that flag whether a provision is missing from or present in your contract.

The Profile tab shows your account information and add-on settings.

• Name and Email — your LegalSifter account details

• Credit Balances — your available Sift Credits and Document Credits

• Click Sign Out on the Profile tab.

• A confirmation dialog asks “Are you sure you want to sign out?”

• Click Sign Out to confirm, or Cancel to stay signed in.

After signing out, you’ll return to the sign-in screen.

ReviewPro includes built-in support chat powered by Intercom. Look for the chat option in the sidebar to start a conversation with the support team.

Login window doesn’t appear

Your browser is likely blocking popups. Allow popups for docs.google.com in your browser settings, then try signing in again.

Session expired

If your session expires while you’re working, the sidebar shows a “Your session has expired” message with a Sign In Again button. Click it to re-authenticate — your review progress is preserved, so you won’t lose your place.

Analysis takes too long or fails

If the analysis exceeds the expected time, you’ll see an error with a Retry button. Click it to try again. If the problem persists, check your internet connection or contact support.

“No connection” error

This appears when the sidebar can’t reach the server. Check your internet connection and click Retry. The message reads: “Unable to reach the server. Check your internet connection and try again.”

“Something went wrong” error

If the sidebar encounters an unexpected error, you’ll see a Try Again button. Click it to reload. If the issue persists, try closing and reopening the sidebar from the Extensions menu.

Redlined document doesn’t open

If the new tab doesn’t open after clicking “Create Redlined Document,” your browser may be blocking the popup. Allow popups for docs.google.com and click the Open Redlined Document link that appears in the sidebar.
