What are Table Reviews?

Table Reviews let you instantly generate comprehensive overviews of your documents. It’s like working with a spreadsheet designed for legal work.

Each row represents a document, and each column represents a question you want Zeno to answer based on your document. Zeno reads the documents, extracts the relevant information, and fills in the answers in each cell of the table. For document, you can see where the information was extracted from by checking the reasoning.

Use Table Reviews to:

  • Run due diligence and get a fast overview of a large volume of documents.

  • Analyze long, complex files like case law or SPAs.

  • Compare key terms in contracts, employment agreements, or shareholder agreements.

  • Prepare presentations by summarizing key points from judgments or filings.

Fully Customize Your Table

  • Add as many or as few columns as you like.

  • Write your own prompts for each column.

  • Choose how answers should appear: as text, yes/no, date, or currency.

Start a New Table

  1. On the home page, click 'Table Review'.

  2. You can either:

    • Start a custom table by adding your own columns.

    • Or choose a preset table, where the columns are already configured.

Creating Your Own Table

If you choose to add your own columns:

  1. Click “Add Column.”

  2. For each column, fill in three fields:

    • Column name (e.g. “Parties”)

    • Instructions for Zeno (e.g. “Who are the parties?”)

    • Answer type — select from a dropdown (e.g. Text, Yes/No, Date, Currency). To learn more about the specific output options in columns, check this page.

Once you/re done, Click “Add Column.” Repeat to add as many columns as needed.

Add Files to Your Table:

Once your columns are set up, you can start reviewing files with your table.

  1. Click the 'Add Files' button you’ll find it both in the middle of the screen and in the top left corner. (You can also drag and drop files from the left column into the table.)

  2. Select the files you want to include in the review.

    • Click the "Add Files button in the center of the table

    • Or add additional files in the top left

  3. Zeno will read each document you add and complete the table based on your columns — giving you a clear overview.

Working in Your Table

After the table is created, you can:

  • Add more columns at any time using the “Add Column” button at the top right.

  • Add more files using the “Add Files” button at the top left.
