## 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;

[Read the manual](https://help.clausebuddy.com/artificial-intelligence/smart-merge) for the in-depth documentation.

## 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;

## 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-september-2024/8-september-2024.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.
