Atlas Editor vs classic editor: What's new?

Compare the new Atlas Editor with the classic editor, and learn how to switch between them.

We've introduced the new Atlas Editor, an AI-first way to draft, edit, review and format your documents in Lawpath. The classic editor is still available whenever you need it. Here's what's the same and what's new.

Main features:

  • Three ways to start. You can begin from a Lawpath-verified template, have Atlas draft a document from a plain-English description, or upload your own PDF or Word file.

  • AI edits made directly in the document. Tell Atlas what you want changed and it edits the text itself, showing each change as a tracked suggestion you can accept or reject.

  • Insights and risks next to the clause they relate to. Risks are flagged at the exact clause, with a suggested fix alongside, rather than in a separate list.

  • Uploaded documents you can review and edit. Once reviewed, an uploaded document becomes editable, so you can act on the feedback straight away.

  • Updated formatting tools. The toolbar covers fonts, styling, numbering, alignment and indentation, and you can press Tab to indent clauses.

Good to know

  • You can choose either editor. When you start a new document, you'll open the Atlas Editor by default. To use the classic editor instead, select the classic editor link.

  • Your existing documents are unchanged. Documents created before the Atlas Editor launched stay in the classic editor, exactly as they were.

  • Atlas uses Atlas credits. Free plans include 15 Atlas credits, shared across Atlas chat and the Atlas Editor. Paid plans include unlimited Atlas credits.
