Harvey for Word: Unified History

What's New

Unified History connects the Harvey web app and the Word Add-In so you can move between both platforms without losing context. Your Word threads now live alongside your web threads in your web app History page, and the work you start in one place follows you to the other. You can now:

• See Word threads in your web history. All Harvey for Word threads now appear in your history feed in the web app, both in User history and Workspace history.
• Move between Word and the web app seamlessly. When you export a document from the web app to Word, your full web app thread will carry over to the Word add-in so you can continue where you left off.
• Share Word threads with teammates. Send a web link to a Word thread to anyone with web app access, no Word add-in required.

Why It Matters

Before this release, Harvey for Word activity was not available from the history tab in the web app. With Unified History, your conversation history lives in one place.

You get a complete view of Harvey usage across Word and Web — useful for finding past work, sharing with colleagues, and keeping an audit trail — without switching between platforms.

How to Use

View and Share Word Threads in the Web App

1. Start a thread in Harvey for Word as usual.
2. Open your History page in the Harvey web app. Your Word threads will appear alongside your web threads.
3. Select any entry to open the thread view. You’ll be able to see prior queries and a snapshot of the document as it was when the query was made.
4. To share, open the thread and send the web link to a teammate.

Continue a Thread From the Web App in Word

1. Open the document in the Harvey web app.
2. Export it to Word.
3. Your full thread will carry over into the Word add-in, including context, prior queries, and document state.
4. Continue working in Word right where you left off.

Notes & Limitations

• Document snapshots reflect the latest known state. The document shown within your History is the version captured at the time of your last query. Suggestions you applied or rejected after that point are not reflected. The snapshot updates each time you submit a new query in Word.
• Read-only in the web app. You can view and share Word threads from the web app, but you cannot continue, reply to, or edit them there in this release.
• Older threads will not have a document snapshot. The document snapshot panel will only appear for threads created after the Unified History launch. You won't be able to view document snapshots for threads that were created before launch.

FAQs

Can I respond to a Word thread from the web app?

Not yet. Word threads are view-only in the web app in this release, so users can view and share Word threads but cannot respond, continue, or edit from the web app.

Will Unified History include Outlook threads?

Not in this release. Outlook threads are planned for when Agentic Outlook launches later this month.
