What's new in ArsLex Associate

A cleaner, faster taskpane

We rebuilt the add-in's interface around how attorneys actually read and draft. Everything below is live now — the add-in updates automatically the next time you open it in Word.

• A real reading view. Opening a case or deposition now fills the pane with a single scrolling view and a back button — no more scrolling a document inside a card inside a list.
• Drop a case on an outline point. Drag a case onto a point in your brief outline and choose whether to attach it to that point alone or to the point and every sub-point beneath it.
• A look that matches ArsLex. The interface now carries the same palette as arslex.ai, and a new Dark theme is available in Settings.
• Smoother throughout. Subtle animations, consistent dialogs and dropdowns, and clearer empty states across the app (all of it respects your system's reduced-motion setting).

We've launched — early access is open
