Contract versions

Compare two versions of a contract

You reviewed one PDF. The one you are asked to sign looks the same until it is not. DocGlue lines up sections and shows added, removed, and changed wording - including fee and payment-term shifts it can see in the text.

What this mode checks

Section-by-section text differences between two versions. Contract or reference numbers, when labeled, should match. Amounts that appear in changed clauses are called out more strongly than ordinary wording edits.

What this is not

DocGlue does not interpret legal meaning, enforceability, or whether you should sign. It does not replace a lawyer. It shows what the text did, with snippets and page numbers when the text includes them.

How to use it

Put the earlier version on the left and the later version on the right. If the files are a quote and an invoice instead, switch the comparison type below or use auto-detect.

Version 1 vs version 2

Upload two PDFs, or try the Cedar Peak sample. Put the document you agreed to first (a quote, an order, or the earlier version) and the one you are checking second. Differences show what changed in the second one. If a quote and an invoice are the wrong way round, DocGlue swaps them and tells you. Text you can select is read as written; a scanned page is read only when it has no selectable text.

What are you comparing?

Auto reads symbols such as R, $, EUR, GBP, CAD, and AUD. Pick a currency when an amount has no symbol. If the two PDFs clearly use different currencies, the report warns you and does not subtract them.

Try sample pair loads a Cedar Peak quote and invoice, then runs the same comparison as an upload. Nothing is saved.

Waiting for two PDFs

Add the Version 1 and the Version 2. Results list matched fields, differences, missing lines, and uncertain matches.

Questions

What does contract comparison check?

Section-by-section and clause-by-clause text differences between two versions, each with its own finding. Sections are lined up by heading or numbering, then by wording, so reordered sections still pair up; a section that cannot be lined up with confidence is marked Uncertain rather than guessed. Contract or reference numbers, when labeled, should match. Amounts that appear in changed clauses are called out more strongly than ordinary wording edits.

Does DocGlue tell me whether to sign?

No. DocGlue does not interpret legal meaning, enforceability, or whether you should sign. It does not replace a lawyer. It shows what the text did, with snippets and page numbers when the text includes them.
