Edit and format your document

The toolbar at a glance

Open any document — blank, uploaded, or from a template — and the editor toolbar runs across the top. It's a genuine rich-text editor: everything you'd expect from a word processor, plus the things that matter for contracts. Reading left to right, the toolbar groups into:

• Navigate & history — jump between documents and pages, open version history, and search within the document.
• Undo / redo — step back and forward through your changes.
• Text formatting — font family, size, block type, bold/italic/underline/strikethrough, colour, and highlight.
• Structure — bullet and numbered lists, alignment, line spacing, and tables.
• Insert & more — images, links, text direction, and other tools under the “more” menu.
• Editing / Preview — flip between editing the document and previewing it exactly as a signer will see it.

1. Format your text

Select any text and style it just like in a word processor:

• Font family and font size — pick the typeface and size.
• Block type — turn a line into Heading 1, 2, or 3 or back to Normal body text, so long contracts get a clear structure.
• Bold, Italic, Underline, Strikethrough — the essentials, one click each.
• Text colour and Highlight — draw attention to a clause or mark something for review.

2. Structure your content

Shape how the document reads:

• Bullet and numbered lists — for clauses, terms, and steps.
• Text alignment — left, right, centre, or justify (right-align matters for Arabic).
• Line & paragraph spacing — open up dense text for readability.

These are live edits on the real document — what you format is exactly what the signer receives.

3. Insert tables, images, and links

Go beyond plain text:

• Insert table — drop in a table for fee schedules, deliverables, or signatory blocks. Once it's in, a table toolbar lets you add or remove rows and columns, merge cells, and delete the table.
• Insert image — add a logo, diagram, or exhibit directly into the document.
• Insert link — link out to policies, terms, or reference material.
• Text direction — switch a block between left-to-right and right-to-left, so you can mix Arabic and English cleanly in one contract.

4. Work faster

A few tools make longer edits painless:

• Selection toolbar — select text and a floating toolbar appears with quick formatting, a comment, and an AI action right where you're working.
• Version history — see earlier versions and roll back if needed.
• Search document — jump straight to a word or clause in a long agreement.
• Editing / Preview — switch to Preview to see the document exactly as the signer will, then back to Editing.
• AI assistant — draft or refine wording from the side panel without leaving the editor.
