Feature
Team collaboration (email included, Slack soon)
In plain English
version90 keeps the whole negotiation — team discussion, counterparty comments, and every returned draft — attached to the contract itself. Comments go to the counterparty; internal notes never leave your side; email attachments file themselves as new versions. Nobody CC's the deal into chaos.
Two channels, structurally separated
Every negotiation has two conversations: the one with them, and the one about them. Mixing those up ranges from embarrassing ("per my last comment, their CFO is bluffing") to expensive. In version90, comments are written into the document and travel with it; internal notes are platform-side objects that are never serialized into the file. The awkward-forward failure mode simply doesn't exist.
Whose turn is it?
Every contract carries a turn indicator — yours or theirs — so the dashboard can answer the only status question that matters. No more scrolling a thread to figure out whether you're waiting on them or they're waiting on you and everyone's been waiting on nobody for nine days.
Email is the counterparty's UI
You'll never convince another company's lawyer to make an account in your tool — so we didn't build that requirement. The counterparty emails a revised draft like they always have; version90 catches it, versions it, diffs it, and queues it for your review. The subject line can stay RE: RE: RE: RE: forever. On your side, it's a timeline.
Slack (coming)
Turn changes, inbound revisions, and finding alerts pushed to a channel — so the deal's heartbeat is visible where your team already lives. Shipping after email flows harden.

Frequently asked questions
Can my counterparty see our internal notes in version90?
No — by design. version90 separates comments (written into the document, visible to the counterparty) from internal notes (stored on your side only, never written into the file). The distinction is structural, not a checkbox someone can forget.
Does the counterparty need to use version90?
No. They keep using Word and email. Their attachments are ingested as new versions automatically, their tracked changes and comments are detected, and your team reviews everything in version90. They never know — except that your side suddenly stopped losing attachments.
How does email collaboration work in version90?
Each workspace can receive documents by email. When a counterparty replies with a revised draft attached, version90 files it against the right contract, creates a new immutable version, summarizes what changed, and flips the turn indicator to 'your turn'. Slack notifications are on the roadmap next.
How do roles and permissions work?
Members draft and negotiate; admins and owners control settings, deletion and restoration; every capability is permission-checked server-side. Guest access for outside counsel is on the roadmap.
