## Bulk comparison improvements 

The bulk comparison module was revised, to show its results differently. 

<mark style="background-color:purple;">Improvements</mark> The results are now shown as a true "heatmap", with different shades of yellow, to indicate how many documents changed the affected paragraph.&#x20;

When a paragraph is clicked on, details will be shown of the exact changes that were made to the paragraph.&#x20;

<mark style="background-color:orange;">New feature</mark> Users can then click one of the results to get a bilateral comparison with the base document:&#x20;

<mark style="background-color:orange;">New feature</mark> Users can also immediately export a ZIP file with all individual comparisons (i.e. between the base file and every single version):&#x20;

## Filter review results

<mark style="background-color:purple;">Improvement</mark> Users can now filter reviewing results by their status, so that — for example — no requirements are shown that are fully met (shown in green).&#x20;

The filtering also applies to the exported results.

## Faster PDF conversions

<mark style="background-color:orange;">New feature</mark> Converting PDF files usually takes 5 to 60 seconds. Converted PDF files are now stored for a few days in a secure file vault, in order to speed up any future use of that same PDF file.&#x20;

## Bulk creation of new users

<mark style="background-color:orange;">New feature</mark> In order to speed up the onboarding of large legal teams, we have introduced a new feature that allows to create new users by uploading an Excel-file that contains all necessary details for the new users.&#x20;

## Upgraded to GPT4.1

<mark style="background-color:purple;">Improvements</mark> All legal teams — except for those committed to a specific other LLMs — have now been upgraded to OpenAI's GPT4.1, hosted on Microsoft Azure in either Sweden (for European customers) or the United States.&#x20;

GPT4.1 is [faster, more up-to-date with facts, and can handle larger amounts of text](https://openai.com/index/gpt-4-1/), and is therefore a recommended default for every team.

## New Clause9 special functions

<mark style="background-color:orange;">New feature</mark> The following special functions were added to Clause9, all related to cross-references with subtle differences:

[@ref-full-context](https://help.clause9.com/special-functions/references#ref-full-context) inserts a cross-reference that works like the '*Paragraph number (full context)'* cross-reference in MS Word: the full context (of a multi-level list) of the referenced item is shown.

[@ref-no-context](https://help.clause9.com/special-functions/references#ref-no-context) inserts a cross-reference that works like the '*Paragraph number (no context)*' cross-reference in MS Word: only the number of the actual level the referenced item has is shown.

[@ref-relevant-context](https://help.clause9.com/special-functions/references#ref-relevant-context) inserts a cross-reference that works like the '*Paragraph number*' cross-reference in MS Word. What gets inserted as a number will depend on the position of the cross-reference.

## Direct copying of clauses on Mac

<mark style="background-color:purple;">Improvements</mark> Due to security restrictions enforced by Apple when using ClauseBuddy inside of MS Word on a Mac, it was not always possible to copy clauses to the clipboard. This has now been resolved. &#x20;

## Standalone MultiDocumentTable & Checklists modules

<mark style="background-color:purple;">Improvement</mark> Given their popularity among users, the MultiDocumentTable module and Checklists modules are now turned into their own, separate modules. (Previously they were part of the Doc Chat and Write & Rewrite modules).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://operations.clausebase.com/updates-may-2025/31-may-2025.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
