## What changed

Polish has become a document-wide action. With a single click, Niyam reviews the entire draft for grammar, phrasing, consistency, and formatting, then returns a cleaned version of the full document. At the same time, every polish run is saved as a discrete entry in revision history, so you can compare the before and after and restore any earlier version if you prefer a particular passage the way you originally wrote it.

The polish addresses the kinds of problems that build up naturally when a draft is assembled across multiple working sessions: inconsistent ways of referring to the same party or document, sentences that read clearly in isolation but awkwardly in sequence, and formatting that drifts across sections written at different times. The result is a document that reads as though it was drafted in one sitting from beginning to end, without altering the substance of what you wrote.

## How to use it

1. Open the draft you want to clean up.
2. Select **Polish** to run the pass across the entire document at once.
3. Review the result. The clauses, structure, defined terms, and legal substance remain exactly as you wrote them; only the language and formatting are tightened.
4. Open **revision history** to compare the polished version against the one that preceded it.
5. If a specific sentence read better in your original phrasing, restore the earlier version of that passage from history without affecting the rest of the document.

## Why it matters

A draft that reads cleanly carries more weight, whether it is going to a client for approval, to opposing counsel, or to the court. Working through a long document for language and formatting alone is slow, and the closing sections rarely receive the same careful attention as the opening ones simply because attention and time run short toward the end. A single consistent polish gives every paragraph the same level of finish.

The revision history is what allows you to use polish without reservation. You are not replacing your draft and hoping the result is better — you are creating a checkpoint that preserves exactly what you had before. If a particular clause read better in your original phrasing, you can bring it back. If the polish improved something you had not noticed was rough, you keep that improvement. The choice stays with you throughout the process.

For drafts built through a guided fill session, polish is a natural final step after the structure is locked and before the document is shared or exported. It handles the surface of the language so your attention can stay focused on the substance.

## Good to know

- Polish does not alter legal substance. The relief claimed, parties named, dates, monetary amounts, and defined terms remain exactly as you wrote them. Only grammar, phrasing, and formatting are adjusted.
- Each polish run is a separate, independent entry in revision history. You can run polish multiple times as a draft evolves, and each run is recorded and reversible independently of the others.
- Revision history is accessible from the draft at any time, not only immediately after a polish, so you can step back through the full edit history of the document.
- Polish is most effective as a final step after substantive edits are complete. Running it between revision rounds and then continuing to edit will create additional history entries but may produce less consistent results.
- Translation is a separate step from polish. Once you are satisfied with a polished draft, you can send it to translation as the next action.
