What's New

The Convert to a Template feature will let you instantly transform an existing Word document into a reusable Harvey template.

  • When you select Convert to a Template, Harvey will scan your document and automatically identify personalized or variable information (such as names, addresses, and dates).
  • These details will be replaced with labeled placeholders (e.g., [Name], [Address], [Date]) to create a clean, reusable template.
  • You’ll have the opportunity to review and edit all suggested placeholders before saving the final version in your workspace.
