Preview

The Preview panel (the eye icon in the right rail) shows your application assembled as one document: title, bibliography, sections in filing order, the claim set placed before the abstract, and drawing sheets last, formatted for the application's jurisdiction.

The preview is a faithful rendering of the outgoing document. Cross-references you inserted in the editors (claim 1, FIG. 2, reference signs) appear as resolved plain text, exactly as the document reads when filed and exactly matching the Word export. The interactive reference chips live in the editors, not here.

The document updates live as you type and as the assistant edits content. Optional sections stay hidden until they have text, and the claim set appears once at least one claim has text.

Need more room? The expand button in the panel header sweeps the preview over the whole work area. The collapse button, or navigating anywhere from the sidebar, brings you back to the page you came from, with the preview still open and docked on the right.

Following your work

By default the preview scrolls to the section you are working on: open a section editor and the panel jumps to that section, open Claims and it jumps to the claim set. Toggle this with the pin icon in the panel header.

Drawing sheets

Figures that carry an image render at the end of the document, one sheet per figure, captioned with the figure label alone (Fig. 1), the way filed drawing sheets read. Figure descriptions belong in the Brief description of the drawings section, not under the sheet. Drawing sheets appear in the preview only; the export covers the text of the application.

Viewing a frozen version

The version selector reads as the last crumb in the panel header, straight after the Preview label. It switches the preview between the working draft and any frozen version of the application in scope, and its Manage versions entry jumps to the Versions page. You can also pin a version by clicking it on that page.

While pinned to a frozen version, the version crumb is highlighted and the document is outlined, so it is always clear you are not looking at the working draft. Auto-scroll is paused, and the pin survives a refresh (it rides in the page URL). Switching to another application clears the pin. Drawing sheets show the artwork as it was when the version froze.

Select Working draft in the same dropdown to return to the live document. To make a frozen version your editing target instead, use Continue from this version on the Versions page.

Because the editor always shows the working draft, pinning a frozen version gives you a side-by-side compare: current text on the left, the frozen state on the right.

Exporting

The Export button offers:

• Microsoft Word (.docx): the assembled document with jurisdiction-appropriate formatting (for example bracketed paragraph numbers for US filings).
• Copy to clipboard: the same document as plain text.

Paragraph numbering

Paragraphs are numbered [0001], [0002] and so on in the preview and the Word export. This is a USPTO convention, so it is on by default for US filings and off for EP, PCT and NL, where numbering is optional.

You can override the default per application. Open the application from the Applications page and set Paragraph numbering to Numbered or Not numbered. Numbering runs continuously across the whole document rather than restarting in each section, and headings, lists and tables are skipped.
