Abstract: A collaborative document creation platform includes a database storing documents. Each document specifies members of a first team and a second opposing team; objectives for each of the teams; expense entries for tasks performed by the team members in connection with the respective document; document versions; point in time status indicating a current document version and which of the two teams has edit access to the current document version; and local and global comments directed to portions of text in the respective document. The platform has a graphical user interface, including windows configured to specify the members of the two teams, specify the objectives for each of the teams, enter and display expense entries for the tasks performed related to the respective document, review document versions and edit live document versions, review point in time status for the document, and review and enter local and global comments for the document.

Abstract: A collaborative document creation platform stores documents. Each document is associated with two or more distinct teams, and each team has multiple users. The platform enables users of teams associated with each document to modify the document. The platform includes a local comment affordance, which enables a user of a first team associated with a document to insert local comments, distinct from text of the document. The local comments are restricted for review only by users of the first team. The platform includes a global comment affordance, which enables all users associated with the document to insert global comments. The global comments are designated for review by one or more users associated with the document. The platform displays global comments to all of the designated users associated with the document, and displays each local comment only for the team corresponding to the author of the local comment.

Abstract: A contract negotiation platform stores a plurality of contract documents in a database and stores metadata for the contract documents. Each contract document includes a plurality of phrases. Metadata for each contract document includes an identification of whether each respective phrase in the respective contract document has been agreed upon by parties to the respective contract document. When a respective phrase has not been agreed upon by the parties, the metadata stores a count of the number of times that the respective phrase has been modified. The platform displays each contract document according to the metadata for the phrases. Phrases that have been agreed upon by the parties are indicated by a first color. Phrases that have not been agreed upon by the parties are indicated by a plurality of second colors according to the respective count of times the respective phrase has been modified.

Abstract: A document creation platform provides a user interface for creating electronic documents. In response to a first user input, the platform creates an electronic document with a plurality of clauses. In response to a second user input in a first clause, the platform designates a user-specified sequence of words in the first clause as a defined term. The platform also opens an addendum section of the electronic document to receive a user-specified definition of the term. In response to a third user input, the platform inserts the term into the electronic document in a second clause. The platform identifies a fourth user action at a location of the term in the electronic document, and in response: determines that the term has an associated definition; retrieves a current version of the definition from the addendum section; and displays the retrieved current version of the definition in a separate window.

Abstract: A document creation platform provides a user interface for creating electronic documents. In response to first user input, the platform creates an electronic document with a plurality of clauses. In response to input from a user at a print affordance in the user interface, the platform displays a plurality of print options for the electronic document, including: a first print option to print user-selected portions within the electronic document; and a second print option to print only portions within the electronic document that have changed a user-specified number of times. When the user selects the first print option and selects one or more portions in the electronic document, the platform prints only the user-selected portions. When the user selects the second print option and specifies a number of times, the platform prints only portions within the electronic document that have changed the user-specified number of times.
