Work with Libra without leaving Microsoft Word. The add-in opens as a panel beside your document, signs in with the same Libra account as the web app, and works against the same projects, Assistants and Playbooks.

​
Install the add-in

Requirements: Microsoft Word — desktop on Windows or Mac, or Word on the web — and an active Libra account.The add-in declares a single minimum for all three (Word JavaScript API requirement set 1.7); there is no separate Windows or Mac version floor. Current Microsoft 365 builds meet it. If Word never offers you the add-in, your Word build is older than that minimum — update Word or ask your IT team.

Launch Word and open any document, or create a new one.
2

Add Libra

If Libra is not installed yet, search for “Libra” in the Office Add-ins dialog and click Add. If your organization deploys add-ins centrally, Libra sits under Admin-managed rather than in the search results.

Sign in

Click Sign in. Word opens a separate window for the Libra login — enter your email address and finish the flow there. The panel then reloads with your account.Libra login window asking for an email address
Your organization may have pre-installed the add-in for you. If Libra already appears in your Word toolbar, skip the installation steps and just sign in.

​
The Libra panel

Signing in brings you to the panel proper. It has two tabs — Chat and Actions — plus a menu behind the hamburger button in the top-left corner. Libra Chat tab in Word, showing the assistant selector, the new chat and history buttons, and the input field Chat is where you ask questions about the document you have open and ask for revisions to its text. The assistant selector at the top of the panel chooses which Assistant answers; beside it, + starts a New Chat and the clock icon opens your Chat History. The second +, inside the input field, is Add Files — it attaches documents from the selected project to the conversation rather than starting a new one. Beside it, the mode picker sets what Libra is allowed to do with the document — Ask, Edit, and in the Word desktop apps Auto — and the Research icon opens the list of legal databases Libra may search. Chat covers all of it, including chat modes and research. Actions holds the three things Libra runs across a whole document. Actions tab listing Review, Document Comparison and Fill Placeholders Review checks the open document against a Playbook and flags every Topic that deviates from your firm’s standard position. Document Comparison checks it against your own precedents instead: you say which party you act for, add the reference documents, and Libra grades the differences it finds. Fill Placeholders walks the placeholders in a template and fills them from the documents and context you supply. Show History, the pill at the bottom of the tab, reopens earlier Review and Document Comparison runs. The hamburger menu holds Selected Project — the Libra project the panel is working in — together with Settings and Sign Out. That project matters more than it looks: it decides which files you can pull into a chat and which earlier runs Show History lists. Click the project name to switch. Archived projects cannot be opened from the add-in; unarchive them in the web app first.

​
Troubleshooting

Click Add-Ins in the Word toolbar, then More Add-ins, and search for “Libra”. If your organization deploys add-ins centrally, look under Admin-managed in the same dialog rather than in the search results, and contact your IT administrator if it is not there either.
The panel is a web view, so it needs a live connection to Libra. Check your internet connection, close and reopen the panel, and if that does not help, restart Word. Installing pending Office updates is worth a try as well.
The login opens in a separate window rather than inside the panel, so if nothing appears, allow pop-ups and try again. Check that the same credentials work at app.libratech.ai.
Chats and reviews belong to a project. Open the hamburger menu, check that Selected Project names the project you expect, and switch if it does not.

​
Organization deployment

Administrators can deploy the add-in to everyone from the Microsoft 365 admin center, so nobody has to install it themselves. If you would rather not do it yourself, ask your IT administrator to roll it out.
