Legal teams live in a world of connected decisions. The vendor agreement you're reviewing today carries DNA from the partnership deal you closed last quarter. The liability language that worked against one counterparty becomes your opening position with the next. Every contract builds on institutional memory.
That’s why we’ve expanded how IntelAgree users can compare contract versions. In our 25.2.2 release, we've made it even easier for you to understand what’s changed, even when the source document lives outside the platform:
Compare Across Contracts in Your Portfolio
Previously, comparisons were limited to versions within a single contract record. Now, users can compare any contract version to any other contract they have access to in IntelAgree.
This change opens the door to cross-contract visibility. You can reference previous agreements, pull language from related deals, or align terms across a portfolio — all without toggling between screens or stitching documents together manually.
External Document Comparisons Work, Too
We understand that the files you need to review don't always originate in IntelAgree. Sometimes it’s a third-party draft saved to your desktop, a legacy contract in your inbox, or redline from last year that was never uploaded.
With this update, you can now upload an external document and compare it to any version stored in IntelAgree. Whether you're validating changes against a regulatory standard or checking compliance with a parent company template, the comparison is no longer constrained by where the document happens to be stored.
Summarize Differences with Saige Assist
When comparing any two documents — whether existing contracts or external uploads — Saige Assist: Compare and Summarize can now summarize the key changes. Instead of reviewing markup line by line, you’ll get a concise explanation of what was added, removed, or reworded.
This helps you zero in on high-impact changes and clears the way for quicker, more strategic decision-making.
Enhanced Contract Advice
Contract context matters as much as contract content. Understanding the full story behind an agreement — from who negotiated specific terms to when key milestones were hit — often determines how you interpret and act on what you're reading.
Saige Assist: Contract Advice now reaches deeper into your contract data to surface that full story. You can get immediate answers about the people, processes, and timeline behind any contract without navigating through multiple data fields or remembering where specific information lives in the system.

Expanding What's Possible in Contract Analysis
We built these enhancements to support how contract review actually happens: across systems, across stakeholders, and often across multiple agreements at once.
We know that when you're negotiating a new contract, you want to reference the structure of a similar deal, regardless of where that agreement lives. Or when outside counsel sends revisions, you need to compare them against your preferred language, even if that language sits in a different document library.
Most platforms weren’t built for this kind of work. They treat contracts as individual files to be stored, labeled, and searched. They're useful for storage, but limiting when you need to draw connections across agreements.
This release is part of our ongoing mission to make that kind of analysis easier. It reflects a shift toward legal intelligence — tools that surface patterns across negotiations, help teams track how terms evolve, and make it easier to apply hard-won lessons from one deal to the next.
Looking Forward
Here's what else we're working on for upcoming releases:
- Search Result-Based Contract Comparisons: When searching for contracts, you'll be able to select two contracts from the search results page and use the "Compare Contracts" dropdown to launch Saige Assist: Compare. This gets you straight to your comparison without the extra clicks of opening individual contract records.
- Meta Attribute Risk Scoring: Risk scoring will soon extend to meta attributes, allowing you to configure risk bands for complex provisions like indemnification and liability limitations. You'll be able to assign different risk scores for each meta attribute, giving you more precise visibility into portfolio risk exposure.
- Search Result-Based Contract Advice: Saige Assist: Contract Advice will extend into search results, letting you select multiple contracts and ask a single question across all selected agreements. You can ask things like specific dates or whether contracts contain certain clauses, and get answers from each contract with relevant information.
Wrapping Up
Altogether, these upgrades reduce comparison fatigue and make the review process sharper, smoother, and easier to trust.
