Each change is a place where your source documents differ. Resolving it means choosing the wording that goes into your precedent.

1. Opening a change
Click a highlighted change in the document, or click a change under a provision in the Provisions list.
The change panel opens on the right with your options for resolving it.
Its header shows where the change sits in its provision, for example, 1 / 8.
Use the arrows to move to the previous or next change.
A change selected in the document, with its options in the change panel on the right.
2. Your options
The options depend on the change, but you will usually see these:
Option | What it does |
AI suggestion | Curate’s proposed resolution, labelled with its type, such as Placeholder or Optional. Where it keeps several options, tick the ones to include. At least one option must stay ticked. |
Plain text options | Uses the exact wording from one of your source documents. Each option shows the file name it comes from. |
Add your custom text instead | Lets you type your own wording. |
Fully remove this text | Click Remove field to leave this text out of the precedent. |
3. Applying your choice
Select an option in the change panel.
Click Apply here to resolve this change.
If the same change appears in other provisions, you can click Apply in N places instead and confirm. Curate applies your choice to the identical wording elsewhere and skips any places you have already resolved.
A change that appears in two places, with the Apply here and Apply in 2 places buttons.
To change your mind, select the change again and click Unresolve (or Unresolve in N places). You can also undo Apply in N places straight after using it, which puts every place back as it was.
4. Resolving a whole paragraph
When a paragraph has several changes, it is often quicker to settle the whole paragraph at once.
Hover in the margin next to the paragraph and click Resolve this paragraph.
The Resolving a paragraph window opens. At the top is the precedent version of the paragraph. Below it is a card for each source document, compared against the precedent.
Shape the precedent wording in any of these ways:
Click Edit text to edit the precedent directly, including adding placeholders and conditions.
Use a source document’s whole paragraph: open the card’s menu and choose Use this paragraph as my precedent paragraph.
Use part of a source’s wording: hover over it, then choose Add as plain text, Add as placeholder or Add as condition.
Choose Set as master file on a card to compare the other sources against it for this paragraph.
Click the eye icon next to a source to hide it, so you can focus on the rest.
Open the precedent’s ··· menu and click Add a paragraph, then click a neighbouring paragraph in the document to bring it into the comparison.
Then click Save changes.
