Workshare 9 has become an essential tool for a law firm, helping them streamline their document sharing process. With its ability to remove meta-data from Word documents sent as email attachments through Outlook, users can confidently share sensitive information without worrying about unintentionally revealing hidden data. Additionally, Workshare 9 enables lawyers and paralegals to create accurate comparisons between the latest and earlier versions of documents. This feature is particularly helpful in legal settings where accuracy and version control are crucial. By utilizing Workshare Compare, legal professionals can easily identify differences between two versions of a document, proof their own changes, and check if the other side has made any content changes.
Universities have also found great value in integrating Workshare 9 into their research and thematic spaces. The software's browser-based technology allows for quick and easy document comparisons, significantly reducing the time required for this task. Not only does it save time, but it also prevents administrative and research problems that may arise from errors or inconsistencies in documents. By relying on Workshare 9 for version control and ensuring document accuracy, universities can better allocate their resources towards productive research activities instead of wasting time on manual comparison tasks.
Another product by the same company, Litera Desktop, has become a daily go-to tool for companies looking to streamline their legal document creation process. Whether it's letters, pleadings, motions, garnishments, spreadsheets, or legal research materials, Litera Desktop offers a comprehensive platform for creating various types of legal documents. This all-in-one solution not only simplifies the document creation process but also facilitates reviewing, redlining, and corrections within a single program.

Excellent security and confidentiality: Multiple reviewers have praised Workshare 9 for its ability to remove metadata from Word documents and emails, ensuring excellent security and confidentiality. This robust data protection feature has been highly valued by users who prioritize safeguarding sensitive information.
Cons:
- Metadata removal feature can inadvertently erase all information from PDF forms: Some users have cautioned that when using the PDF Filler, it is important to be cautious and turn off the Metadata removal feature as it can unintentionally delete all the information from the PDF form.
- OCR software in Workshare Compare is only effective for simple and short PDFs: According to some reviewers, the optical character recognition software in Workshare Compare is not as effective when handling longer scans. To compare these documents accurately, users need to convert them to Word documents using Adobe Pro before comparing.
- Lack of a powerful engine for comparing PDFs without converting them to Word: Several users have expressed their desire for Workshare Compare to have a more powerful engine that can directly compare PDFs without requiring an intermediate step of converting scans to Word documents.

Workshare just Works!
I use Workshare Compare to do a couple of things:
- I use it to show the differences between two versions of a document. For example, I will run a comparison before I send a revised document out to a client, and then send them a copy of the comparison to show them what has been changed. This is a general sort of use.
- I use it to proof my own changes to a document that I have been working on. I find that this is the most effective way to proof my revisions because it highlights the content you have changed (and need to proof).
- I use it to check if the other side has changed any content in a document. For example, some of the time the other side will send you an "execution version," but we need to check that they did not change anything material at the last minute.
- Clearly shows the changes between two documents using multiple colors of text and crossing-out and underlining.
- Has diverse options for savings and sending the comparison document (Word, PDF and its own proprietary file format).
- Has multiple options for letting you review each of the changes (in sequential order or by type of change).
- While Workshare Compare does let you compare PDFs and does feature some optical character recognition software, this feature only works with relatively straightforward PDFs (that are either already text readable or are very short). For longer scans, you need to first use Adobe Pro to convert those scans to Word documents, and then compare the converted Word documents. It would be nice if Workshare had a more powerful engine for comparing PDFs that allowed you to skip this intermediate step.
- Positive impact by increasing the productivity of the lawyer.
- Positive impact by improving our communication with clients (by allowing the clients to clearly see the changes we have made).
- Positive impact on liability management by allowing us to clearly see the changes that the other side of a transaction has made to a document.
The only other program I've used that performs a similar function is Microsoft Word, which does have a comparison feature built in. However, I find the Microsoft Word comparison harder to read and slightly less accurate. For example, I think Workshare Compare does a much better job in determining when you have moved the text to another part of the document (rather than showing it as a regular deletion in one place and in another place).
