What is a “Playbook?”
Before sifting a document, Users must select a Playbook. A playbook includes a unique bundle of Sifters and Sifter Settings for reviewing a specific type of contract or document (e.g., Consulting Agreement, Software as a Service Agreement, Nondisclosure Agreement, etc.). Professional clients may configure an unlimited number of playbook for their users on their own. Essentials clients may not configure playbooks.
Each Playboojk has three (3) components:
1. Bundle of relevant Sifters
2. Advice related to each Sifter
3. Sifter Settings (how a Sifter behaves if the concept is Found or Missing)
What is a "Playbook Template?"
A Playbook Template is a pre-determined bundle of Sifters, Advice, and Sifter Settings targeted for a specific playbook created by an individual LegalSifter Review Professional edition client.
A LegalSifter PlaybookTemplate is a Playbook Template created by LegalSifter for use by its clients. In general, LegalSifter Playbook Templates are available out-of-the-box for all major contract types covered by LegalSifter Review. LegalSifter Playbook Templates are available to both LegalSifter Review Essentials and Professional edition clients.

Essentials subscription clients can contact help@legalsifter.com to have LegalSifter Playbook Templates added to sift with.
