## Reviewing counter mark-ups on your redline (eg round 2 or 3 of any negotiation):

The video below shows how to use DraftPilot to review **tracked changes made by the other side** after you’ve sent them your initial markup on third-party paper.

You’ll learn how to:

### **1️⃣ Select your playbook**

Choose the playbook you used for your original markup.  
If you’re reviewing edits on your own template, and you’ve created an **Own Template Playbook**, DraftPilot will automatically use that too.

### **2️⃣ Choose which authors DraftPilot should review**

When DraftPilot detects tracked changes, it will show all authors who made edits.  
You can:

-   Include only the other side’s edits
    
-   Exclude changes made by you or your team
    
-   Keep the review clean and focused
    

### **3️⃣ Run an AI-powered counter-redline review**

DraftPilot will:

-   Analyse every tracked change the other side made
    
-   Compare each edit against your playbook positions and fallbacks
    
-   Use your existing fallbacks where available
    
-   Generate several response options across different levels of firmness where fallbacks don’t exist
    
-   Provide a clear justification for each suggested path
    

This turns second-round negotiations into a structured, high-quality review.

### **4️⃣ View, tweak, and insert AI response suggestions**

For each clause the other side edited, you can:

-   Review DraftPilot’s suggested responses
    
-   Adjust the language
    
-   Insert the selected option as tracked changes directly into Word
    

### **5️⃣ Insert and edit justification comment bubbles**

Each suggestion includes an editable justification to help you explain your response.  
You can tweak or shorten these before inserting them as comment bubbles for the counterparty.

### **6️⃣ Strengthen your playbook as you negotiate**

During the review, you can:

-   Add missing fallbacks directly inside Word
    
-   Or ask the AI to expand a playbook entry with more detailed fallback positions
    

Your playbook evolves automatically as you negotiate real contracts.
