Running a Review in Review 2.0

Last updated: April 15, 2026

Review 2.0 is a major upgrade to Ivo’s contract review experience and the biggest product update since Intelligence. It replaces the rigid, checklist-based structure of Review 1.0 with a more flexible, AI-native approach that reviews agreements more like an experienced lawyer would: by considering the full contract, your playbook, and your deal context together.


  1. Click on Review 2.0.

  1. If using playbooks, select up to three playbooks to review against.

  2. Choose either Standard Review or Redline Review.

    1. Standard: Comprehensive review of entire document

    2. Redline: Focuses review on counterparty's redlines

  3. Add any additional documents if needed. This step is optional.

  4. Click Continue to Deal Context.

  5. Add deal context. This is highly recommended as it helps tailor the recommendations to the contract.

  6. Depending on the playbook(s) you selected, additional questions may appear. Answering them is optional, but it can provide more context for the review.

    Redraft the markup using different language while still addressing the position requirement.

Add Comment

You can choose whether to include an automatically generated Word comment by using the toggle to the right of Add Comment.

  • If your playbook includes a specified comment, that comment will be used.

  • Otherwise, an AI-generated comment will be created to help justify the change for the counterparty during their review of the updated document.

  • If you want to provide instructions for the AI-generated comment, click the Update icon.


Playbook Sources

The Playbook Sources section shows where the contract did not meet specific terms in your playbook.

Fallbacks / Alternative Positions
