Draftable Legal can add its comparison commands to the main Windows 11 right-click menu, so you can start a comparison straight from File Explorer without opening the app first. This is the short menu you see first, not the Show more options overflow menu:
  • Compare in Draftable compares the selected file or files.
  • 1-Click in Draftable instantly compares the selected file against its previous version.

​
Prerequisites

​

1

Open the Extensions settings

Confirm it is installed

When the change is complete, the status shows Installed and the button becomes Remove. Installing the Windows 11 menu also removes Draftable’s older Default context menu entry, so you will not see duplicate Draftable menus.

For IT administrators

Each user currently turns on the Windows 11 menu themselves, using the steps above. Our team is investigating a way for IT administrators to enable it across all managed machines at once, but we have not committed to delivering this. If you need more information, contact support@draftable.com.

Troubleshooting

Enabling the menu closes all File Explorer windows. Open a new File Explorer window and try again. If it still does not appear, sign out of Windows and back in. This feature requires Windows 11.
Uninstalling a per-user installation of Draftable removes its Windows 11 menu registration. After reinstalling Draftable, you can install the menu again.Go to Settings > Add-ins > Extensions > Windows 11 context menu and click Install. If the card already shows Installed, click Remove, then click Install again.Cleanup after replacing a per-user installationAvailable from version 26.10.0When you start a machine-wide MSI installation with valid machine-wide registrations, Draftable removes leftover per-user right-click entries and draftable:// handlers that point to a program that no longer exists.
Your organization controls this setting, so you cannot change it yourself. Contact your IT administrator.
