Assistant Workflows
Use Harvey’s streamlined workflows to quickly accomplish your tasks, without the need to prompt.
Last updated: Jun 5, 2025
Overview
Assistant Workflows are designed to streamline interactions with Harvey by guiding users through structured, predefined processes.
Rather than requiring users to input detailed prompts, these workflows proactively gather the necessary context and generate high-quality, task-specific outputs. Along the way, they provide incremental progress updates, offering transparency into Harvey’s process and ensuring users stay informed.
Accessing Workflows
Go to the Assistant tab and scroll to the Workflows section, or open the Workflows tab to select a multi-step workflow.

Using Workflows
- Select a category and a workflow that best fits your use case.
- Follow the instructions on the screen to provide the required inputs, such as files, text, or choices.
- Users with access to Vault or DMS integrations (e.g., SharePoint) will be able to import files from these sources in any workflow step that calls for a file upload.
- Click Send in the bottom right corner.

Once the workflow has generated a response, you can:
- Check Steps: At the top of the output, click the carrot next to “Finished in n steps” to view Harvey’s work.
- Review Citations: Click into the numbered citations in-line or in the sources side panel on the right.
- Perform Follow-Ups: Depending on the type of workflow output, you may have the option to ask additional questions or revise the response.
- Share and Export: Share the workflow’s output with colleagues in your workspace, or export it as a Word or Excel document.
- See Sharing Assistant Threads for more details on sharing.
Technical Guidelines
Each workflow will have specific file types supported and file size limits, optimized for the highest quality output and most common use cases. Over time, we will expand the supported file types and file limits for each workflow. Current limits are displayed within each workflow in Harvey.
Available Workflows

Transactional

This functionality is equivalent to the querying that the Redlines Q&A workflow supports, and works in both Assist and Draft mode. File size limits remain the same!*
