1. A method comprising:
identifying, by a document management system, an edit made by a user to language of a first clause associated with the user;
querying, by the document management system, a corpus of documents associated with the user to identify a set of documents that include an instance of the first clause;
comparing, by the document management system, the edited first clause with the instance of the first clause in each of the set of documents to identify a subset of the set of documents that include an outdated instance of the first clause;
modifying, by the document management system, a document interface presented to the user to include 1) a first interface portion listing the identified subset of documents and configured to enable the user to select a document of the identified set of documents, 2) a second interface portion that displays the edited first clause, and 3) a third interface portion that displays an outdated instance of the first clause within a selected document that is selected from the identified subset of documents using the first interface portion; and
in response to a confirmation interaction by the user via the interface element, modifying, by the document management system, each of one or more of the subset of documents by replacing the outdated instance of the first clause in the document with the edited first clause.
