Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about Tritium? Here are some common ones and their answers.

Does Tritium read and write Microsoft Word documents?

Yes, Tritium aims to be fully compatible with Microsoft Word.

It uses the same file format as Word and is compatible with all Word features that are important to lawyers. Some features of Tritium, such as rich formatted comments may not be supported by Microsoft Word, however. In any such case, the ".docx" file rendered by Tritium will continue to be viewable with Microsoft Word with those additional features not visible.

Where does Tritium store my documents?

Like most high-quality word processors, Tritium runs on your desktop.

That means it can access any files that you have access to on your desktop. This includes integrations with your document management system, like iManage, NetDocuments or Sharepoint. The Assistant is configured at installation or via the Settings to speak to your language model of choice. No data is stored on Tritium servers.

Can I use it to edit PDFs?

No, editing PDFs is not yet supported by Tritium. While the roadmap includes commenting on PDFs, this is not yet supported.

What makes Tritium special?

Tritium is a fast and featureful drafting environment built for lawyers.

It's designed to leverage modern hardware and avoid unnecessary features to maximize its speed. Tritium is featureful because it comes packed with features that transactional lawyers need on a day-in, day-out basis like redlining and defined term resolution. It abandons the fiction of the single-document context and lets you work across your suite of documents from a single window.
