Corrections

Click any cell to edit its value. Corrections are logged with the original value, timestamp, and user. Choose a propagation scope: this_document_only or all_similar (same field + method + source field across all documents). Corrections feed back as training signals for future runs, helping the system learn from your edits and improve accuracy over time. When you correct a value, the system records both the original AI-extracted value and your correction, creating a complete audit trail that is preserved even after subsequent jobs run.

When correcting a value, consider using all_similar propagation if the same mistake appears across multiple documents — for example, a reference table code that was consistently mapped to the wrong label. This applies your fix to every document in the run that matched the same way, saving you from correcting each cell individually. The system learns from these corrections, so the same error is less likely to recur in future jobs.

Corrections create a full audit trail: the original extracted value, the corrected value, who made the change, and when. This audit log is preserved even after subsequent jobs are run, giving you a complete history of manual interventions. When you export results with the full metadata option, correction history is included so downstream systems can distinguish between AI-extracted and human-corrected values.

For best results, correct the root cause rather than individual symptoms. If a field consistently produces wrong values, update the schema field's manual instruction or reference table rather than correcting cells one by one. If a reference table code is missing, add it to the table — future runs will pick it up automatically at Step 1 confidence (0.95). Corrections are most valuable as a feedback mechanism when they inform schema improvements.

  1. Click the cell in the results grid and enter the corrected value.
  2. Choose the propagation scope: this_document_only fixes the single cell, all_similar fixes every cell in the run that was resolved with the same field, method, and source.
  3. For all_similar, check the preview count of affected cells before you confirm the change.
  4. Confirm. The cell is marked as a manual correction and the original value, your user, and a timestamp are written to the audit log.

Corrections are most powerful when they inform structural improvements to your schema. If you find yourself correcting the same field repeatedly across multiple jobs, this is a strong signal that the underlying schema configuration needs attention. Common fixes include: adding missing synonyms to a reference table (so Step 1 lookup resolves the value automatically), refining the manual extraction instruction (so the AI extracts the correct value in the first place), or adjusting a format constraint pattern (so valid values are not incorrectly flagged). Each of these root-cause fixes eliminates the need for future corrections on that field, compounding time savings across every subsequent job.

Corrections with all_similar propagation apply instantly across all documents in the run. Use this for systematic errors like wrong reference table mappings, but verify the preview count before confirming — the system shows how many cells will be affected. For recurring field-level errors, consider updating the schema instruction or reference table rather than correcting cells individually across multiple runs.

Corrections and review decisions also differ in who may make them. In the Spec path, Field Review applies role rules on top of the queue: viewers can read but not decide, and fields tagged as complex can only be decided by a Senior Member or an Admin, while other reviewers leave a recommendation for them. A Senior Member who confirms a recommended action credits the colleague who proposed it, and the decision log records both people by name and email, so the audit trail shows who proposed and who decided.

Frequently asked questions

How do I correct an extracted value?+
Click any cell in the results grid to edit its value. Choose propagation scope: this_document_only (single cell) or all_similar (same field + method across all documents). When using all_similar, the system shows a preview count of how many cells will be affected before you confirm — always verify this count to avoid unintended bulk changes.
Do corrections improve future extractions?+
Yes. Corrections feed back as training signals for future runs, helping the system learn from your corrections and improve accuracy over time. For maximum impact, correct the root cause rather than individual symptoms — update the schema field instruction or reference table so that future runs resolve correctly without manual intervention.
Is there an audit trail for corrections?+
Yes. Every correction logs the original value, the corrected value, the user who made the change, and the timestamp. This audit history is preserved even after subsequent jobs run and is included in full metadata CSV exports. Downstream systems can use this data to distinguish between AI-extracted and human-corrected values.
What is the difference between this_document_only and all_similar propagation?+
this_document_only corrects a single cell in one document. all_similar finds every cell in the run where the same field was resolved using the same method and source, and applies the same correction to all of them. Use all_similar for systematic errors — for example, when a reference table consistently maps a vendor name to the wrong code. The system previews the count of affected cells before applying, so you can verify the scope before confirming.
Do Job corrections work the same way as review decisions in a Spec?+
They are related but separate. A Job correction edits a grid cell and writes an audit entry with the original value, the user, and the time. In the Spec path, held fields are decided through Field Review (approve, correct, or override), each decision is written to the decision log with the reviewer, and the reviewed values flow into data products on Products.
