Tips for Better Results

When asking about a specific section, select that text first. Libra understands exactly what you’re referring to.
Instead of “Fix this,” try “Rewrite this paragraph to emphasize the buyer’s remedies if delivery is delayed.”
Enable Track Changes when applying edits. This integrates with your normal contract negotiation workflow.
Always review suggested changes before inserting them. Click Apply only after confirming the revision is correct.
