Short answer
Anchors link a paragraph in your draft to the passage in a source document that it responds to, such as the claim in a complaint your answer addresses. Attorly suggests anchors as you write, shows the source side by side, and greys out an anchor when the quoted text is edited away.
How it works in Attorly
- Suggestions appear only at 75% confidence or higher; accept or dismiss with one click.
- Click an anchor to open the source; click the back-reference in the source to jump back to the draft.
- PDF and DOCX exports render anchored paragraphs with bracketed citations and a Sources section.
- Source quotes and anchor notes are encrypted at rest.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between an anchor and a comment?
- A comment is a note on one document. An anchor links two passages across documents: your paragraph and the source passage it addresses.
