WestCheck Profiles let you save and reuse citation-checking presets (jurisdiction, services, QuoteRight and limits, sorting, and report options) for faster, consistent results.
If you are a new user, it is recommended that you define presets for common use cases using the
Profile
options. Profiles let you select, save, and reuse options you use frequently. Each time you access the WestCheck tool, you are provided with options to select an existing profile, view/edit profile settings for a selected profile, and create a new profile.

When the WestCheck tool extracts citations from your document, it also creates a list of quotations found in your document. When a quotation is attached to a citation, the WestCheck tool compares the quotation in the user’s document against the actual quotation in the cited document. QuoteRight displays the quotation text from both the user’s document and the cited document, noting if the quotation is identical or different. You can also choose to ignore quotes that contain less than two to six words. The WestCheck tool extracts the citation but QuoteRight doesn’t attach quotations with less than the specified number of words to the citations (for example, select
2
to indicate that QuoteRight should not process quotations of fewer than two words). Turn this feature off by selecting
Turn off QuoteRight

Select the services (KeyCite, Find, QuoteRight, and Cited Decisions) to use to check your citations. To set KeyCite limits, select the
