Track changes
Tracked insertions and deletions appear in place, and AI-proposed edits arrive as tracked changes you accept or reject in the document.
Version history for every save
Saved edits become document revisions, so the current file and its full history stay together.
Matter context stays visible
The document remains attached to its matter, alongside its files, properties, tasks, and conversations.
Local Office bridge

FAQ
Does the document stay attached to its matter while I edit?
Yes. The document is edited where it lives, alongside the matter's other files, properties, tasks, and conversations, so no local copy is downloaded and re-uploaded to make a change.
Does the editor keep track changes?
Yes. Tracked insertions and deletions appear in place, the way Word shows them. Edits proposed by stella's AI arrive the same way, so a redline is reviewed and accepted or rejected before it becomes part of the document.
What happens when I save?
The saved file remains connected to the same matter and document, and the save becomes a revision in that document's version history.
Can I get back to an earlier revision?
Yes. Saved revisions stay in the document's version history, so the current file and the ones it replaced remain together on the same document.
Can I open the same document in Microsoft Word?
Yes. The stella desktop bridge opens the document in local Office for Word-specific workflows and returns the edited file to the same matter.
Can stella's AI work on the document I am editing?
Yes. The document is part of its matter, so the AI agent can read it and propose edits as tracked changes in the same document.
