## Smart Merge

<mark style="background-color:orange;">New feature</mark> ClauseBuddy now contains a "Smart Merge" function that allows users to get an intelligent merge of two texts — e.g. a currently selected clause and a a Truffle clause or clause from the Quality Library. With the help of AI, ClauseBuddy will show a list of legal characteristics available in both texts, and then allows the end-user to easily select which features to keep or remove.&#x20;

The function is shown in every text-insertion popup-menu. It is also available within Deep Compare.&#x20;

## Re-engineered Deep Compare

<mark style="background-color:purple;">Change</mark> The Deep Compare functionality, previously [introduced in July 2024](https://operations.clausebase.com/updates-july-2024/21-july-2024#deep-compare), has been re-engineered, to integrate the Smart Merge feature and incorporate feedback from our customers.&#x20;

The new module will now allow you to:&#x20;

* Get an exhaustive overview of all clauses from the other document that are legally *associated* with some clause of the target document
* Swap the left-side and right-side document at any time
* Search within both documents to limit the visible text
* Incorporate the central Smart Merge functionality for selected clauses

## "Please enlarge this panel"

<mark style="background-color:orange;">New feature</mark> ClauseBuddy now shows a teal panel at the top to invite users to enlarge the width if it's currently too narrow.&#x20;

Background: unfortunately, MS Word does not remember the width of its plugin-panels, and it is impossible for plugin developers to force the width to a certain size. Accordingly, having this kind of invitation on the screen is the only viable manner to nudge users to make the panel a bit wider.&#x20;

## Smaller font

Both ClauseBuddy and Clause9 now use a base font that is now 1px smaller, aligning it a little bit better with the default font size of dialog text in MS Word.&#x20;
