collating-reviewer-feedback

When to Use

• Multiple reviewers returned Word documents with comments or tracked changes.
• The team needs to see every proposed edit, comment, and conflict in one place.
• The master document is court-facing, client-facing, or otherwise too risky to auto-merge.
• Feedback arrived outside Word, such as email, Teams, WhatsApp, phone notes, or conference comments, and needs to be added to the same resolution list.

Do not use this skill to automatically accept, reject, or merge changes into the master document. The output is a review checklist. The lawyer makes every document edit.

Audience and Work Shape

Audience: drafting and litigation lawyers, trainees, and paralegals who own or support the master document and understand Word comments/track changes.

Work shape: pattern-matched review with bounded extraction. The skill compiles, groups, and classifies reviewer inputs; it does not decide the legal or drafting outcome.
