Abstract: A document management system can include an artificial intelligence-based document manager that can perform one or more predictive operations based on characteristics of a user, a document, a user account, or historical document activity. For instance, the document management system can apply a machine-learning model to determine how long an expiring agreement document is likely to take to renegotiate and can prompt a user to begin the renegotiation process in advance. The document management system can detect a change to language in a particular clause type and can prompt a user to update other documents that include the clause type to include the change. The document management system can determine a type of a document being worked on and can identify one or more actions that a corresponding user may want to take using a machine-learning model trained on similar documents and similar users.

Abstract: Through a workflow interface, a document management system enables a user to establish a document workflow. The document workflow establishes a set of document actions for the document management system to perform automatically in response to a request from the user. The user defines the document workflow by selecting from a set of workflow operations and specifying parameters for the selected workflow operation. The user additionally defines an approval workflow operation and a rejection workflow operation that designate document actions in the event that a document is approved or rejected, respectively. The document management system performs at least a portion of the document workflow in an order determined from the workflow interface.

Abstract: An online document system can allow users to participate in collaborative negotiation of documents stored with in the online document system. To facilitate negotiations between multiple entities (each potentially including multiple users with different roles in the negotiation), the online document system includes a permissions system that allows per-clause control over user's access to propose and approve changes to a negotiated document. Similarly, the user interfaces for viewing a negotiated document provided by the online document system to users can depend on the role of that user in editing the document and the current stage of the negotiation of the document. Finally, the online document system can track agreement between sides in a negotiation on a per-clause basis and can otherwise help facilitate the negotiation of the document.

Abstract: An online document system enables simultaneous collaboration on a shared document. Users associated with two or more collaborating entities can see edits and comments made to the shared document from all participants in real time. A first entity chooses to make all edits public to everyone or temporarily locks a clause so that the real time edits to the clause are only visible to users associated with the first entity. This allows all users associated with the first entity to continue to collaborate among themselves on edits to the locked document until it is in a state where they are ready for the rest of the users associated with other entities to view the changes. At the same time, the other users can continue to review, edit, and collaborate on the other clauses in the document. When the permissions are updated, all entities can again view the clauses for negotiation.

Abstract: A document management system generates a document template within which a user can embed document tags. Each document tag represents a term of the document. The user selects a document tag and identifies a location for the document tag within the document template. The embedded document tag adheres to formatting rules of the document template. The document management system accesses a data value corresponding to the selected document tag and generates a modified document. The modified document includes the accessed data value at the identified location, and is subject to the formatting rules of the document template.

Abstract: A document management system generates a form interface including fields that correspond to a set of document tags selected by a user. The document tags, each of which corresponds to a document term, is located in a document template. The document management system suggests fields corresponding to document terms not selected by the user, but often included in similar document templates. In response to the user's selection of at least one of the suggested fields, the document management system modifies the form interface to include the selected suggested field. After the fields in the form are completed, thus defining the document terms, the document management system generates a document with each of the terms in place of the document tags.
