# AI Contract Redline: Compare Signed Documents Against Originals > Automatically redline any signed contract or agreement against its original and produce an exhaustive change report before counter-signing. Upload the returned signed document (PDF, DOCX, or scanned image), name the original stored in Google Drive (DOCX or native Google Doc), and the workflow OCRs the signed copy, locates and downloads the original from Drive, converts both to clean text, and surfaces every difference categorized by type: substantive wording and clause changes with section numbers and side-by-side quotes, filled-in fields such as parties, effective dates, dollar amounts, addresses, and signer names and titles, signature block label differences, DocuSign and other e-signature artifacts, OCR rendering artifacts to ignore, and shared typos worth fixing in the original. Built for legal contract review, NDA comparison, MSA and SOW intake, vendor agreement onboarding, employment offer letter audits, partnership and referral agreement review, sales contract redlining, real estate purchase agreement comparison, insurance policy diff, lease and rental agreement review, and any returned-document intake workflow where you need to know exactly what changed before filing or counter-signing. Eliminates manual side-by-side reading, accelerates legal and operations review cycles, and prevents accidental acceptance of unfavorable revisions hidden inside a returned signed document.
