ScaffoldThis release adds Compare, a new way to see exactly what changed between two documents or two versions, and makes the tools that AI agents use to read and edit your documents smarter and easier to trust.
Compare Documents and Versions
You can now compare any two documents, or any two versions of the same document, and see exactly what changed.
This is one of the most-requested workflows for legal and operations teams: a counterparty sends back a revised contract, or you want to check what an earlier draft said, and you need a clear, reliable picture of the differences. Compare shows insertions, deletions, and formatting changes side by side, and lets you page through each difference instead of re-reading the whole file.
From the review pane, you decide what to do with each difference. You can pull a specific change from one version into the other, or revert a change you do not want to keep. Nothing is applied automatically — you stay in control of what becomes part of the document.
Compare is just as useful when you are working through Claude, ChatGPT, or the web Assistant. The AI can run a Compare on its own to check its work across versions before handing it back to you — for example, confirming that a batch of redlines did exactly what you asked and nothing more. The AI can read and verify differences on its own, but only a person can accept or merge them, so a comparison can never quietly change your document.
Smarter Tools for AI Agents
We improved the tools that connected AI clients use to read and edit your documents, so agent work is easier to follow and easier to trust.
- Formatting is now visible on reads. An agent can now see how a paragraph is actually formatted — bold labels, font sizes, colors, and similar styling — before it makes a change. That helps it match your document's existing style instead of guessing.
- Every AI edit is a tracked change you approve. All edits an AI makes arrive as proposed tracked changes that you accept or reject. No AI edit is ever final on its own, including formatting changes.
- Edits are attributed to you. Tracked changes made on your behalf now carry your name and email, so it is clear who an edit belongs to when you review a document's history.
- Safe undo and retry. If an agent realizes it made a change incorrectly, it can cleanly discard its own proposed changes and try again, without touching anything you have already approved.
Together these make AI-assisted editing feel closer to working alongside a careful collaborator: you can always see what was proposed, why, and who made it.
Email Multiple Documents at Once
Scaffold can now email several related documents to your account email in a single message.
That is useful when a workflow produces a set of files, such as a contract and an exhibit or several versions to review together. Instead of sending separate messages, the AI can attach up to 10 workspace documents to one email. Attachments continue to use version-aware filenames, so later versions include labels like _v2.
Longer Free Trial for New Sign-Ups
New sign-ups now receive a 30-day free trial, up from the previous 7-day default.
This gives new users more time to try real document workflows before deciding whether Scaffold fits their practice or team. The web app and connected MCP workflows now use the same 30-day window. Existing trials were not changed by this update.
Other Improvements and Fixes
We also continued tightening the edges around document review and AI delivery across the web app and MCP clients:
- The pilot-code flow now links directly to the Beta Tester Agreement and makes acceptance an explicit step before a code can be redeemed.
- Sign-in and sign-up screens now place your cursor in the right field automatically, removing an extra click.
- The MCP document workspace loads more reliably after deploys, with fewer stale or mismatched panes for AI clients that cache aggressively.
- Expired or inactive subscriptions now show clearer errors to connected AI clients instead of appearing as a silent failed action.
- Microsoft Word document repair was hardened further for older files affected by namespace issues.
