Documentation

Install Reddox from the Microsoft Office Add-in Store. In Word, click Insert > Get Add-ins and search for "Reddox." Once installed, the Reddox task pane appears on the right side of your Word window. You can also pin the Reddox icon to your ribbon for one-click access.

Open any .docx contract in Word and click the Reddox icon in your ribbon. The task pane will open. Type a prompt like "Review this contract and flag risks" or click one of the quick action buttons (e.g., "Full Review," "Flag Missing Clauses"). Reddox reads the document, analyzes it, and produces tracked changes and comments directly in Word.

• Microsoft Word (desktop app, Windows or Mac)
• Microsoft 365 subscription
• Active internet connection

Reddox produces native Word tracked changes, not overlays or annotations. Every insertion, deletion, and replacement appears in the standard revision pane so you can accept or reject edits individually or in bulk.

Each edit includes a confidence rating:

The word-level diff engine ensures precise edits. If Reddox replaces "30 days" with "10 business days," you will see exactly those words changed, not the entire paragraph rewritten.

Playbooks are reusable review instructions that tell Reddox what to look for and how to respond. Built-in playbooks include:

• Review as Landlord
• Review as Tenant
• Review as Lender
• Check Indemnification Clauses
• Flag Missing Clauses

You can create custom playbooks in plain English. Describe your firm's standards, preferred clause language, or risk tolerances and save the playbook to your account. Every team member can then run the same review.

Upload your gold-standard templates via drag-and-drop. Reddox automatically extracts and indexes every clause. When you review an incoming contract, Reddox compares it clause-by-clause against your reference document and assigns each clause a status:

Deviations are automatically redlined to bring the incoming contract in line with your preferred language.

Click the defined term checker to extract every defined term from the document. Reddox identifies four error types:

• Inconsistent casing — "Landlord" vs. "landlord"
• Unused definitions — defined but never referenced
• Undefined usage — used with initial caps but never defined
• Conflicting definitions — defined differently in multiple places

Click any result to navigate directly to that location in the document.

Upload related transaction documents such as MSAs, SOWs, amendments, and side letters. When Reddox reviews the current document, it does so with full awareness of the entire deal. This enables cross-document consistency checking: conflicting governing law clauses, mismatched defined terms, and inconsistent termination provisions are all flagged.

A side-by-side panel that shows the reference clause on the left and the incoming clause on the right. Each pair receives a status badge (Match, Deviation, or Missing). Deviations include an auto-generated redline showing the exact differences between the two versions.

For complex tasks, Reddox operates in a read-think-act loop. The AI reads a section of the document, decides what to do, executes one or more tool calls (e.g., inserting tracked changes and adding a comment), then reads the updated document to verify its work. This loop continues until the task is complete, enabling multi-step edits that build on each other.

Reddox can scan a reviewed contract for variable fields such as dates, amounts, party names, and addresses, then convert them into Word content controls. The result is a reusable, fillable template that preserves all of your preferred clause language.

When you open a contract, Reddox automatically identifies the document type: NDA, MSA, lease, employment agreement, loan agreement, and more. Based on the detected type, Reddox suggests relevant playbooks so you can start a tailored review with one click.

Every edit Reddox produces is assigned a confidence level:

• Critical — high-risk issues that should almost always be addressed (e.g., unlimited liability, missing governing law)
• Recommended — standard improvements that align with market norms
• Optional — minor refinements or stylistic preferences

Use confidence ratings to triage large redlines quickly. Focus on critical edits first, then work through recommended and optional changes as time allows.

Generate an HTML report summarizing every edit, comment, and finding from a review session. Reports include metadata tagging for easy filtering and can be shared with clients or colleagues who do not have the Reddox add-in installed.

Log in to your Reddox account at reddox.ai to upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your plan. Changes take effect at the start of your next billing cycle. You can also update your payment method and download invoices from the billing page.

Team plan administrators can invite and remove members, manage shared playbooks, and view usage analytics from the admin dashboard. Shared playbooks are available to all team members automatically. Usage data includes review counts, tool call volumes, and average review times per user.

If the Reddox add-in does not appear in your ribbon after installation, try these steps:

1. Close and reopen Word.
2. Go to Insert > Get Add-ins > My Add-ins and verify Reddox is listed.
3. If it is not listed, reinstall from the Add-in Store.
4. Ensure your Office version supports add-ins (Microsoft 365 or Office 2019+).

Reddox produces native tracked changes, but they will only be visible if Track Changes display is enabled in Word. Go to the Review tab and set the display mode to All Markup. If Track Changes is turned off, the edits are still present but will appear as if they were already accepted.

If reviews are taking longer than expected:

• Check your internet connection.
• Large documents (100+ pages) take longer to process. Consider reviewing in sections.
• If the issue persists, check the Reddox status page for service updates.

If none of the above steps resolve your issue, contact us at support@reddox.ai. We respond within one business day. Please include your Word version, operating system, and a description of the issue.
