Introducing Phases in Aline Workflows
Workflows in Aline just got a major upgrade. We've completely redesigned how work moves through a workflow by introducing
Phases
-- distinct, sequential stages that guide your team from kickoff to completion.What's new:
Sequential phase-by-phase execution.
Workflows now progress automatically from one phase to the next. When all tasks in a phase are complete, the next phase begins. No more manually starting tasks or coordinating handoffs -- Aline handles the sequencing for you.Signing is now truly optional.
Not every legal workflow ends with a signature. You can now build workflows entirely out of task-based phases -- no signing phase required. This opens up Aline for the full range of legal operations work:- Vendor & third-party security reviews
- Regulatory and compliance assessments
- Board and committee approval processes
- M&A due diligence checklists
- Policy reviews and updates
- Legal hold and litigation response tracking
- Privacy impact assessments (DPIAs / PIAs)
- Employment onboarding documentation
- IP and patent portfolio reviews
- Audit preparation and evidence gathering
- Insurance renewal and risk assessments
Documents serve different roles.
Attach documents as general reference materials for any phase, or designate them as signing documents when signatures are needed. Your team always has the right context at the right stage.A completely redesigned workflow detail view.
The new workflow page gives you a clear, top-down view of every phase, its tasks, and overall progress -- all in one place. Drag and drop to reorder phases, expand or collapse them, and manage collaborators, documents, and comments from the side panel.What's coming next:
Aline AI will soon be able to complete tasks within your workflow phases -- reviewing documents, flagging issues, and moving work forward automatically. Phases are the foundation for making that possible.
