Tasks
The Tasks system helps teams stay organized and accountable when collaborating on complex documents. Each task is tied to highlighted text or a section of the document and can include AI-generated suggestions, manual edits, or review requests.
Assign tasks directly within the editor for collaboration
Filter by priority, status, or assigned user
Link each task to its document context for clarity
Automatically notify users when tasks are completed or require review
Notifications & Tasks
The Notifications panel centralizes all activity updates, from AI alerts to collaborator actions, creating a single source of truth for progress and compliance.
Real-time alerts for edits, approvals, and AI-generated updates
Categorized notifications (AI suggestions, reviews, compliance alerts, etc.)
Configurable preferences for type and frequency of alerts
Inline contextual previews, so users can take action immediately
This system reduces email clutter and keeps teams aligned, ensuring that no important update or compliance check is missed.
Activity Log
The Activity Log provides full transparency and accountability throughout the document lifecycle, which is crucial for regulated government environments.
Chronological record of every change, comment, and approval
Distinguishes between human edits and AI-generated contributions
Shows who made each change and when
Allows auditors to export logs for compliance reporting
The Activity Log builds confidence in the system by ensuring every action is traceable, reviewable, and secure, which is a core requirement for government adoption of AI-assisted tools.
