Reviews don’t have to start on the Review page. From any chat you can run one and watch the Topics resolve inline. Once a Review exists, chat stays useful: the Review page has its own chat bubble for changing Topics in place, and any finished Review can be attached to a conversation as context.
Libra mascot excited
Attach two Reviews to one chat, v1 and v2 of the same contract, and ask “which deviations were fixed in v2, and which are new?”. Libra can answer across both, Topic by Topic.

​
Run a Review from chat

Either arm Review mode explicitly from Tools → Start analysis → Review, or just describe what you want and let Libra pick the tool. Chat tools covers the menu itself.
1

Arm Review mode (or describe what you want)

Chat composer with the Review badge armed, Tools and Research shrunk to icons, and the placeholder reading ‘Tell Libra what to review and what to look for…’Click + Tools under the message box — the menu drops below it — then Start analysis → Review.A Review badge appears in the composer row, Tools and Research shrink to icons, and the placeholder changes to “Tell Libra what to review and what to look for…”. Hover the badge and its icon turns into a ✕; click it to cancel.
2

Attach the contracts and write the prompt

Drag the contracts into the composer, or pick Tools → Upload files from computer, which opens your file browser directly. For files Libra already holds, type @ and pick them from the Documents group of the context picker.Then write a prompt that describes what to check, like “review these against our standard NDA terms” or “check confidentiality, term, and termination clauses”.A Review needs at least one document. If you send without attaching anything, Libra won’t start a Review — it asks you to attach the document you want reviewed.The @ context picker open above the chat composer, with Assistants and Documents groups listing the current project and its folders

Send, then pick a Playbook

Send the message. Before running anything, Libra settles which Playbook to review against — a saved set of Topics, Positions and Rules. It doesn’t choose one silently:
  • Attach exactly one Playbook to the message — type @ and pick it from the Playbooks group — and Libra uses it, no picker.
  • With fewer than five Playbooks available, the picker lists them all.
  • With five or more, Libra ranks them against your documents and your prompt first, then shows the best matches.
The picker is headed Select which Playbook Libra should apply to Review the document. Type to filter, hover a row for Preview (opens the Playbook read-only) and Select, or use Browse all Playbooks to open the full library.It waits as long as you need — the question survives a page reload, a deploy, and days of elapsed time — and the ✕ in its header dismisses it if you change your mind.Reload the page while the question is still open and the armed badge comes back with it.The picker also offers Create a new Playbook. Pick it and the composer badge switches to Playbook and stays there, so your next message goes on building the Playbook instead of re-opening this picker.No Review runs in that turn. Once the Playbook is ready, ask Libra to run it.The inline Playbook chooser in the conversation, headed Select which Playbook Libra should apply to Review the document, with a search box and Playbook rows offering Preview and Select

Watch the Review fill in, Topic by Topic

Libra answers with a Review created card: the Review’s title, its Topic and document counts, and one numbered row per Topic.Each row carries a tag — Pending while it waits its turn, Evaluating while Libra is working on it, then No risk, Medium risk or High risk once it resolves.Not verifiable means nothing in the documents let Libra judge the Topic’s rules, Not found that they hold nothing on the subject at all, and Failed that the evaluation broke. You don’t have to wait for the whole Review to start reading.Review created card in chat with Open preview and Open Review buttons, 5 Topics and 1 document, the first Topics already carrying their risk tags while later rows are still evaluating

Open the result

The card has two ways out. Open preview opens the finished Review read-only without leaving the conversation. Open Review opens the full Review page, where each Topic has Verify, re-run, edit and delete actions, and the header carries Export and Save as Playbook.The full Review page: numbered Topics with No risk and Medium risk badges, a Reasoning block with numbered citations, and Save as Playbook in the header

Auto-attached for follow-ups

The Review you just created stays attached to the conversation, so a follow-up like “now draft a redline email summarising the high-risk Topics” already knows about it — including after a page reload.Chat composer with the created Review still attached as a chip, and a follow-up question typed underneath.
A Review created from chat belongs to the same project as the chat. A Playbook doesn’t: save one and it’s available to you in every project.

​
Build a Playbook from chat

You don’t need an existing Playbook to get a structured Review. Describe the review you have in mind and Libra drafts a reusable Playbook — a set of Topics, Positions and Rules — that you can save and run again on the next matter.
1

Arm Playbook mode

A fresh chat with the Playbook badge armed in the composer row next to the Tools and Research icons, the placeholder asking you to describe the Playbook and attach example documentsClick + Tools under the message box, then Create playbook. It sits directly in the menu, above Start analysis.A Playbook badge appears in the composer row and the placeholder changes to “Describe the Playbook to create, and attach example documents or an existing checklist…”.
2

Describe the review, or attach an example

Tell Libra which side you act for and what to check — “a Playbook for reviewing standard German employment contracts from the employer’s side, covering working time, remuneration, probation and termination” — or attach an existing checklist to work from.
3

Answer the intake questions

Libra asks about the matter before it drafts anything, then looks the standard positions up in your legal databases rather than lifting them out of a contract you attached.That distinction matters: a Playbook copied from one contract would only ever approve that contract.With Research mode switched off, Libra asks you to switch it on instead of writing positions from its own general knowledge.
4

Refine and save the Playbook

Libra drafts the Topics, Positions and Rules. Refine them in chat: you can change several Topics in one message, like “rename topics 2, 5 and 7” or “add a governing-law topic and drop the NDA one”, and Libra applies them together.The saved Playbook lands in the Reviews tab of the Templates library and under My Playbooks on the Review page, ready for the next contract.
The Playbook editor has its own chat panel, and there Send is disabled while the form holds unsaved changes — the tooltip asks you to save or discard first. That keeps a chat edit from forking a version your form could never save onto.
Building and running Reviews from chat needs a project and a plan that includes Review — the same requirement as the Review feature itself.

​
Chat beside a Review

The traffic runs the other way too. Open a Review and a chat bubble sits in the bottom-right corner of the Review page. If you came here from a chat, the bubble continues that conversation; arrive without one open and it starts a fresh chat. Either way the Review you’re looking at is attached automatically, so you don’t have to @-mention it. The bubble’s header lets you switch to another chat or start a new one. From there you can ask Libra to read a Topic’s full definition and reasoning, add a Topic, rewrite one, or delete one. Edits apply to this Review only and never change the Playbook it came from. Anything you add or change is re-evaluated in the background and the page updates in place, with no manual refresh. You can change several Topics in one message — Libra batches them into a single edit — but only one such edit per message. After it lands the Review is busy re-evaluating, so a second edit in the same turn is refused. Libra tells you the Topics are updating and reports the new outcomes in its next message. Two limits. Edits need a Review that has finished evaluating: you can’t change Topics while a run is in progress, including in the moments right after the Review is created, and Libra will tell you to wait. The bubble is also desktop-only — it doesn’t appear on mobile. The Review run page with the floating chat panel open in the bottom-right, the Review auto-attached as a locked chip in the panel's composer.

​
Reference a finished Review in chat

Once a Review exists, attach it to any chat as context. Libra answers with citations back to specific Topics, without you copy-pasting anything. Type @ anywhere in the chat input and the context picker opens, grouped by type — Assistants, Documents, Discoveries, Reviews and Playbooks. Pick the Review you want and Libra treats it as part of the chat’s context. Attaching context is an @ job. The Tools menu handles files, Assistants, Workflows and starting new work instead — see Chat tools.

​
Reference flow in practice

Four steps from a finished Review to an answer that cites it. The @ context picker open in chat, scrolled to its Documents, Discoveries, Reviews and Playbooks groups, with a finished Mutual NDA Review listed under Reviews
1

Open a chat in the project where the Review lives

Reviews are project-scoped, so the chat needs to be in the same project — or attach the project itself, which lets Libra reach the Reviews inside it.
2

Type @ and pick the Review

The picker groups its suggestions by type. Reviews appear under Reviews, with the Review icon.
3

Ask your question

The Review is attached as context. Examples:
  • “Which topics came back high risk and why?”
  • “Draft a redline email summarising the deviations.”
  • “Compare this Review to the Review I ran on the previous draft.”
4

Read the answer with Topic-level citations

Libra’s answer cites specific Topics from the Review. Open the Cited Sources panel: a whole-Review card expands into a Topic roster, one row per Topic with its risk badge, so you can see at a glance which Topics drove the answer.A chat answer with a Review and a contract attached, inline citation chips through the text, and a Cited Sources row underneath

​
How a Review citation looks

A Review citation isn’t bracketed text. It renders as a compact chip in the answer: the Review icon followed by the Topic’s name, or the Review’s title when the citation refers to the Review as a whole. Hover the chip and a card opens with the Topic’s number and name, its risk badge, and the Reasoning Libra recorded for it. The card’s Show in Review action takes you to that Topic on the Review page.

​
Common chat-on-Review prompts

These all assume the Review is attached. Copy one and swap in your own matter.
“Summarise this Review in one paragraph for the client. Focus on the high-risk topics.”
“Draft an email to opposing counsel listing every deviation we’d push back on, ordered by risk.”
“Prepare three bullet points the partner should know before the call. Include risk levels and citations.”
Attach two Reviews (e.g. v1 and v2 of the same contract). Ask: “What changed between these two reviews? Which deviations were fixed in v2, which are new?”
“Translate the high-risk findings into German for the client.”

​
Reviews vs. Discoveries as context

Both Reviews and Discoveries can be attached to a chat as context. They cite differently: You can attach both at once, for example, a portfolio Discovery and a deep-dive Review on one of the Discovery’s documents.

​
Tips for getting useful answers

Reviews need contracts to work on. Without an attachment, Libra won’t run the tool — it asks you for the document instead.
“Summarise this Review” gets generic. “Summarise this Review in German for an internal partner. Focus on Topics with High risk and include citations.” gets something usable.
“And cite the relevant Topics.” added to any prompt gets you a verifiable answer instead of a free-form summary.
Attach the Review and the contract itself. Now Libra can reference both: “explain why Topic 3 is medium risk and quote the exact contract clause that triggered it.”
If you find yourself asking “check the contract against these rules” in chat, run a proper Review instead. A Review checks the document against your Playbook’s Rules and records the outcome per Topic, with citations; a chat answer is prose that nothing keeps.
