Harvey for Microsoft

We’re excited to introduce full-document editing in Harvey’s Word Add-In, making it even easier to collaborate with Harvey while working in Microsoft Word.

With this update, you can:

  • Edit entire documents directly in Word—no more 5,000-character limits
  • Ask questions about the content of your document or selected sections
  • Upload precedent documents from Vault to guide your edits
  • Choose how to apply changes: accept suggestions one-by-one or all at once

Whether you're revising an NDA, reviewing redlines, or updating a document based on client feedback, you can now do it all without leaving Word.

We’re still expanding the feature set, and here’s what to keep in mind:

  • Tables: Editing or inserting tables is not yet supported (coming in Q4)
  • Footnotes: Automated footnote insertion is not yet available (coming in Q4)
  • Translation: Use the Translation Workflow in-app for full document translations with formatting
  • Mac users: Expect higher latency in the desktop app; we recommend using Microsoft Word Online for the best experience

Tips:

  • Start with Ask mode: Use Ask to understand the document or get suggested edits.
  • Move to Edit mode: Once you're ready to make changes, toggle “Make document-wide edits” and switch to Edit.

Performance expectations:

  • Most edits generate in 6–90 seconds
  • Very large edits (300+ changes) may take up to 3–5 minutes

This update makes Word a fully capable environment for working with Harvey—no back-and-forth, no extra steps, just smarter editing where you’re already working.
