Resubmitted invoices now carry the Original Invoice primary key and the TeamConnect Invoice primary key automatically, and a flagged LEDES resubmission is blocked when the file's client does not match the client on the original rejected invoice.

Why it matters: Legal ops and AP teams get a traceable chain from each rejected invoice to its corrected version across Collaborati and TeamConnect, which cuts manual relinking and duplicate invoice risk during bill review. The client match check stops a firm's resubmission from being attached to another client's rejected invoice.

]]> Athennian's September 25, 2026 release lets admins restrict individual structure chart views to specific teams, adding a layer of access… https://ailegalindex.com/changelog/athennian ailegalindex.com:change:6ab917f94f0d70b4bff6a0fb Fri, 25 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Product / capability Legal Ops & Spend Regulatory & Compliance Counsel Athennian's September 25, 2026 release lets admins restrict individual structure chart views to specific teams, adding a layer of access control beyond entity level permissions. The control requires the Enterprise plan or the Enterprise Charts add on.

Why it matters: Legal teams can limit who inside the organization sees a given ownership view without reworking entity level permissions. Because it is gated to Enterprise packaging, plan tier decides whether a buyer gets it.

The same release adds expiration dates on documents, with email or in app reminders a week before expiry, on the day, or both.

Why it matters: Corporate secretarial teams get ownership figures that match how their organization treats pending deals, and can retire the spreadsheets they use to track expiring certificates and licenses.

Three new iOS APIs (setAttOptOutLevel, setShowAttOptOutWindow, setAttOptOutLockCategories) control which categories are rejected and locked when a user declines Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt, and a new getWebCookie() function returns consent cookie values on Android, iOS, Flutter and React Native.

Why it matters: This changes what the SDK decides on a user's behalf without any user action, so legal teams should confirm their per region consent models and default categories match their own legal position before the new behavior takes effect in their apps.

The same release extends Highlight All Changes in the Document Editor to content driven by Object Record values and by multiple choice conditions.

Why it matters: Teams that push documents into Legito from other systems now get one complete version history instead of stray files. Reviewers can also see every change in conditional template content, which was easy to miss before.

The same release adds a Bulk Verify action that moves multiple Unverified requests to In Progress, excluding requests that require Evident or IDology identity checks.

Why it matters: Privacy counsel handling access and deletion requests under different laws can encode each statute's deadline trigger in the system instead of tracking exceptions by hand, which lowers the risk of missed statutory response dates.

Legal teams set playbooks, templates, responsibilities and decision boundaries, and the Agent refers any deviation beyond a defined boundary to the responsible person with proposed solutions. Users can create new workflows in natural language, by voice or in writing, and the release is available to all customers immediately.

Why it matters: This moves routine contract decisions inside set boundaries from lawyer review to the agent, so buyers need to check how boundaries are configured and audited before switching it on. Sales and Procurement teams can negotiate within Legal approved positions without routing every contract to Legal.

]]> DocJuris released DocJuris in Word, a Microsoft Word add in side pane that connects the open document to the customer's DocJuris Library… https://ailegalindex.com/changelog/docjuris ailegalindex.com:change:6ab917c2a328a2163b304e0f Wed, 23 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Integration / interoperability Contract Review & Drafting Legal Ops & Spend DocJuris released DocJuris in Word, a Microsoft Word add in side pane that connects the open document to the customer's DocJuris Library of playbooks, checklists, policies, templates and past agreements, with Ask and Edit modes for questions and requested changes. It adds Custom Actions, one click workflows that DocJuris legal engineers build and test for a specific team (for example a Fill Electrical SOW action that populates a statement of work from a supplier quote), and proposed edits are previewed and written only on click as native Word tracked changes. It supports Word for Microsoft 365 on Windows and Mac and Word on the web, is deployed through the Microsoft 365 admin center, and carries over SSO, MFA, Library permissions and the audit trail.

Why it matters: Teams can apply their own negotiating positions inside the drafting tool instead of uploading and downloading files, and DocJuris states that only paragraph text is sent to the customer's own instance and the Word file itself is never uploaded, which is a concrete point for confidentiality review. No Microsoft Marketplace listing was found, so rollout is admin managed rather than store installed.

Province rules such as the British Columbia Trust Administration Fee, the Transaction Levy in Alberta, Ontario and Newfoundland and Labrador, and Ontario Form 9A now apply at matter level, and the Paid Taxes and Billed/Collected Taxes reports can target GST, PST, HST or QST.

Why it matters: Canadian firms with matters in several provinces can keep trust levies and sales tax correct per matter inside one system rather than relying on workarounds or separate books.

]]> Relyance AI's 21 Sept release tightened Strict InHost mode so sampled record values and error text stay out of scan results. https://ailegalindex.com/changelog/relyance-ai ailegalindex.com:change:6ab9178d421c0bed64772f10 Mon, 21 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Privilege / confidentiality Regulatory & Compliance Counsel Legal Ops & Spend Relyance AI's 21 Sept release tightened Strict InHost mode so sampled record values and error text stay out of scan results. InHost runs the Relyance scanner in a cloud account the customer owns and copies only the results back to Relyance. The same release adds sanitized supporting context to data classification findings, which previously showed no context at all.

Why it matters: Teams that keep scanning inside their own cloud can now be sure raw record values never leave it, even in error messages. Sanitized context also makes findings easier to check without exposing the data behind them.

Enforcement is continuous and every allowlist is off by default until an admin turns it on.

Why it matters: Privacy and legal teams connecting AI agents and MCP clients to a system holding data subject request records can now restrict each path to known networks, which limits exposure from a leaked key or token.

Users can search their Ironclad contract repository and workflows in plain language from inside ChatGPT.

Why it matters: Contract repositories hold the commercial terms the business asks legal about most, so this can move routine questions out of legal's inbox. Ask whether the plugin respects Ironclad's record level permissions, since sales and procurement users often have narrower access than legal.

OpenAI's example is bringing prior deals into a comparison.

Why it matters: DeepJudge's index already respects a firm's document permissions and ethical walls. The question for the plugin is whether that still holds once results are inside ChatGPT. Ask whether a user can only retrieve what they could open in the source system.

]]> Clio released a Vincent plugin for Codex, OpenAI's agent. https://ailegalindex.com/changelog/clio ailegalindex.com:change:6aaea9fcafa54bf67064faa6 Thu, 17 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Integration / interoperability Intake & Client Development Legal Research Legal Ops & Spend Clio released a Vincent plugin for Codex, OpenAI's agent. Lawyers can bring Vincent's legal research content and their matter context from Clio into Codex, keeping the connection to the sources behind each answer.

Why it matters: The notable choice is Codex rather than ChatGPT. Codex is one of the two places OpenAI is offering Astra for Law to firms, so this puts Clio's research beside OpenAI's own legal configuration. Firms on a standard ChatGPT Enterprise seat should check they actually have Codex before planning around it.

Lawyers can search, create and update records across the Intapp Celeste portfolio from ChatGPT, including surfacing activities that may need a time entry. Intapp says every result respects the firm's existing ethical walls and need to know access rules.

Why it matters: Read this entry first in this week's plugin wave. Connecting a general assistant to firm systems is easy; doing it without breaching a wall is the hard part, and Intapp owns the walls product most large firms already run. Ask for the behavior in writing: what the plugin returns when a user asks a question whose answer sits on the other side of a wall.

]]> LinkSquares introduced Workflow Builder Agent and Workflow Blueprints. https://ailegalindex.com/changelog/linksquares ailegalindex.com:change:6aaea9fcafa54bf67064fab0 Wed, 16 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Product / capability Contract Review & Drafting Legal Ops & Spend LinkSquares introduced Workflow Builder Agent and Workflow Blueprints. A legal or business team describes a contract process in plain English, and the agent turns it into the steps, sequencing, dependencies and routing needed to run it. Every configuration stays in a governed environment where the team reviews and edits it before anything goes live.

Why it matters: Workflow configuration is where most CLM rollouts stall, because the people who know the policy are rarely the people who can build it. The review before publishing is the detail to test. An agent that drafts a workflow is useful; one that ships it unreviewed is a governance problem, so ask to see the record of what the agent changed.

]]> Intapp released a DealCloud with Celeste plug in for ChatGPT for Financial Services, available to eligible Intapp clients from 10 September. https://ailegalindex.com/changelog/intapp ailegalindex.com:change:6aa5904d7b2eefda1d34c26f Thu, 10 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Integration / interoperability Legal Ops & Spend Intake & Client Development Intapp released a DealCloud with Celeste plug in for ChatGPT for Financial Services, available to eligible Intapp clients from 10 September. The plug in lets a professional query the firm's own client, deal, investor and relationship records from inside ChatGPT, with Intapp's information barriers, material non public information rules and independence obligations enforced on every answer, so a user sees only what they could already see in DealCloud. This first release is scoped to financial services firms on ChatGPT for Financial Services; Intapp has not said when, or whether, the same plug in reaches DealCloud for Legal.

Why it matters: Law firms run Intapp for conflicts, intake and ethical walls, so the relevant question here is not the DealCloud data but the barrier model. Intapp is saying that the walls a firm configures once will hold wherever its knowledge goes next, including inside a third party frontier model, which is the claim a legal buyer would want tested before any Celeste plug in arrives for the legal edition.

]]> LegalOn published a set of workflow additions: Cross Document Review for analyzing a whole contract family together, searchable… https://ailegalindex.com/changelog/legalon ailegalindex.com:change:6a9c2c3cec4ad2f765994255 Fri, 04 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Product / capability Contract Review & Drafting General Legal Assistants Legal Ops & Spend LegalOn published a set of workflow additions: Cross Document Review for analyzing a whole contract family together, searchable negotiation history through the LegalOn Assistant, and an upgrade to AI Revise that drafts and inserts language for missing provisions inside the Word add in. Teams can also set a department level editor name for redlines in Word for the Web.

Why it matters: Two of these solve the same problem from different ends, which is that negotiation context lives in people's memory and in old email threads. The department level editor name is a smaller thing that in house teams ask for constantly, because a redline should not tell the counterparty which junior lawyer made the edit.

The same release adds custom system naming in the Live Data Map, optional fields in the Privacy Requests API, and version 1.3.0 of the Request Manager Agent with JMESPath support.

Why it matters: RoPA upkeep is the compliance task most teams are quietly behind on, because it is tedious rather than difficult. Automatic detection of the categories that trigger an assessment is worth more than the form filling, since missing a trigger is the failure that carries a penalty.

Its agentic workflows can find, open, draft, check and file documents back into iManage without a human moving files between the two.

Why it matters: A legal AI product that cannot write back into the document management system leaves the firm with a manual filing step and two versions of the truth. Naming the round trip, including the file back, is what separates a shipped connector from an announced relationship.

The release adds the access and approval mechanisms needed to widen who can run legal work without widening who can approve it.

Why it matters: The bottleneck this targets is familiar to any in house team: routine legal requests queue behind lawyers who are the only people permitted to touch the tooling. Delegating that safely is an oversight problem before it is a capability problem, and this release is aimed at the oversight half.
