Introducing Section Blocks & Content Blocks

At Smarter Drafter, we’ve long been waging war on rekeying – that tedious, error-prone task of manually entering the same data across multiple documents. 

Our integration with leading Practice Management solutions has already transformed the experience for end users by automating repetitive data entry. Now, we're turning our attention to the heroes behind the scenes: the automation builders.

Meet Section Blocks and Content Blocks

With our latest release, we’re giving automation teams the tools they need to build faster, more consistently, and at scale. Section Blocks and Content Blocks are reusable components that streamline the way legal automations are built, shared, and maintained across your entire organisation.

Section Blocks UI-1

Section Blocks: Reuse Question Sets Across Automations

Section Blocks are reusable sets of questions that can be dropped into any automation. Instead of rebuilding the same Q+A forms for every new document, automation builders can now create a Section Block once, such as for legal representation or party details, and reuse it everywhere.

Benefits:

  • Build once, use infinitely
  • Share across your team
  • Instantly update all automations from one central change

Content Blocks: Standardised Text for Flawless Output

Content Blocks are the companion to Section Blocks — reusable text blocks that ensure your final documents are consistent, compliant, and beautifully branded.

Whether it's standard language for a court form or boilerplate text in a contract, Content Blocks let your team plug in high-quality, pre-approved wording in seconds.

Benefits:

  • Consistent wording across all documents
  • Faster reviews and approvals
  • Centralised updates, reflected instantly

Change Once, Update Everywhere

The real power of Section and Content Blocks lies in their centralised management. If legislation changes, or you need to refine your wording, one update to a block will automatically apply across every document where it’s used. No more version mismatches. No more manual updates.

Available Now for Smarter Drafter Pro Users

Section Blocks and Content Blocks are now available exclusively to all Smarter Drafter Pro users. Start saving time, eliminating errors, and scaling your automations with ease.
