Going beyond contracting in 2026
Next quarter, SpotDraft is expanding beyond contracts with a new Legal Intake for all legal requests, and Sidebar’s Agentic AI will review contracts and return precise answers in clear, structured tables.
LEGAL INTAKE
Legal Intake — One Hub for Every Legal Request
Keep track of everything Legal touches.
From contract reviews to compliance queries, every request now lives in one place — a clear, visual task board where nothing slips through the cracks.
Raise requests, assign owners, and track progress. You’ll always know what’s moving, who’s driving it, and what needs your attention next.

Whenever you update an Express Contract, its public share links refresh automatically — so every stakeholder always views the latest version.
SpotDraft Home
Your new command center for all contract activity. It gives you a real-time snapshot of what needs your attention—signatures, approvals, and reviews—so nothing slips through the cracks. With smart organization and task tracking, you can instantly see contract statuses, next steps, and ownership, keeping your entire workflow clear, structured, and action-ready.
Condition Library
The Condition Library serves as a central hub for creating, managing, and reusing conditional logic across SpotDraft. Use the same logic seamlessly across approvals, signatories, intake questionnaires, and dynamic clauses or text visibility in document generation. Update a condition once, and every connected workflow stays in sync — with full visibility into where and how each condition is applied.
