With KYRO's document redlining feature, you can seamlessly collaborate on proposals, contracts, briefs, reports and more. Moreover, you have the option to define a scale and draw lines/areas while indicating their actual measurements. Keep reading to learn how KYRO takes document markup to the next level.

What is Document Markup/Redlining?

Document markup, also known as redlining, is the process of electronically marking up a document to provide feedback, edits, comments, or annotations. It enables multiple reviewers to collaborate on the same document by suggesting changes or providing feedback in real-time. This is a crucial part of any document management software.

Rather than using old-fashioned paper documents with handwritten notes in the margins, document markup allows users to highlight, strikethrough, underline and add comments directly within a digital document such as a PDF or a Word file. Markup tools provide a clear visual indication of all edits, allowing multiple reviewers to follow suggested changes and have threaded discussions.

The key benefit of document markup is enhanced collaboration and productivity. Without needing to print, mail, fax or email files back and forth, reviewers can work together in one shared digital document. The document owner can easily accept or reject changes from each contributor and keep the editing history. This streamlines the review and approval process across teams and departments.

Benefits of KYRO's Redlining

KYRO's document markup and redlining feature provides several key benefits for teams that need to collaborate on documents:

Work Asynchronously

With KYRO's redlining, multiple people can work on a document asynchronously. Team members can add comments and make edits even when others aren't actively editing the file. This improves workflow and enables collaboration across time zones.

Version Control

Every change made in KYRO is tracked, so there's a clear version history. You can revert back to earlier versions or see precisely who made each edit. This prevents confusion from multiple conflicting file versions.

Track Changes

KYRO's markup tool visually shows all edits as you make them, with additions marked in green and deletions in red. This makes it easy to follow along with changes. You can also toggle tracked changes on and off.

Collaborate Seamlessly

KYRO's real-time co-editing Experience lets multiple people edit simultaneously. The changes merge instantly without overriding each other. Team members can efficiently discuss and refine the document together.
