Redline Reviews Insight: The Inefficiencies of Redlining Contracts in Google Docs

When it comes to negotiating contracts, there's a lack of visibility around which redlines were made and when. Scrolling back through versions in the sidebar doesn't always surface the information you need, making it difficult and time-consuming to piece together the order of resolved comments. Tracked changes and version history are captured in Google Docs, but they're hard to locate and understand.

This lack of visibility removes friction and slows down the contract signing process, which is particularly frustrating for businesses like yours that want to get contracts signed faster. That's why it's essential to use an all-in-one contract management software like Juro, which enables teams to redline and sign contracts in one platform.

Currently, most businesses move their contracts into a separate eSigning platform like DocuSign or Adobe Sign after contract negotiations. However, using these platforms separately can lead to inefficiencies and delays. It's faster and more efficient to use all-in-one contract management software like Juro.

Another limitation of adding redlines in Google Docs is that the contract has to be moved out of the platform to get it signed. This can lead to difficulties in signing contracts post-negotiation, as well as data loss when moving between tools.

Juro solves this problem by enabling users to add internal and external comments, making it easier to collaborate on contracts and reduce friction during the negotiation process. Additionally, Juro's editor presence feature allows users to see who is working in a contract in real-time, eliminating the need for manual tracking.

Meanwhile, comments added in the external comments section will be visible to both internal users and counterparties. To discuss your position internally, you'll need to take these conversations offline, which can involve moving back and forth between tools and even data loss.

Collaborative contract management platforms like Juro solve this problem by enabling users to add internal and external comments. Internal comments added to a contract are only visible to internal users with access to the workspace where the contract is stored, providing privacy for internal discussions.

In fact, there are a few pain points that growing businesses that use Google Docs to redline their contracts often encounter. The process of redlining in Google Docs is far from perfect, especially compared to platforms designed to handle contract negotiations.

Overall, using Juro can help streamline your contract negotiation and signing process, reducing friction and increasing efficiency. With its all-in-one contract management features, you can say goodbye to the inefficiencies of redlining contracts in Google Docs and hello to faster, more secure contract signing.
