Word for lawyers on a Mac comes down to three tools: Track Changes, comments and Compare. Lazur sits on top: hold ⌥ ⌘ and ask where a clause is, or what a redline changed, and it answers on your screen.

## Quick answer

- Turn on Track Changes in Review > Track Changes before you edit.
- Use Review > Compare to see what changed between two versions.
- Ask Lazur “where's the indemnity clause?” and it points at it.
