How to install the SimpleAI Word Add-In

Installing the SimpleAI Word Add-In gives you direct access to Standard playbooks, AI-powered suggestions, and other smart tools to help you review legal documents faster and with more confidence — all without leaving Word.

To get the best experience (especially for redlining), we recommend you install the Add-in in your desktop Word application. While the Word online experience will also work, the redlining experience is more limited.

✅ Recommended Installation: From the Word Add-In Store

If you're already signed in to Microsoft Word with your Microsoft account, this is the easiest way to install the Add-In. Detailed instructions including screenshots available here.

Steps:

  1. Open Microsoft Word
  2. Click “Add-ins” in the top menu
  3. Select “More Add-ins”
  4. In the modal that appears, search for “SimpleDocs”
  5. Click Add next to the SimpleAI Add-In

You’re done! The Add-In will now appear in your Word ribbon.

💡 Note: This method works best with Microsoft 365 Word or Word 2021, and if your Microsoft account allows store access.


💾 Alternate Installation: Using the Manifest File (online)
