Cecilia definitions allows users in databases with Cecilia Q&A to receive AI-generated definitions of terms based exclusively on the documents in their database. With Cecilia definitions, users can instantly define terms or short phrases by selecting text nearly anywhere within Ediscovery (including the metadata panel, filters, topic clusters, and more) and clicking “define.” Because definitions are an additional application of Cecilia Q&A, each definition is created exclusively from information in the database, and is supported by a complete list of sources.
This feature is in Run.

- Once a term appears, you can use all of the functionality that you are used to with Cecilia Q&A in Cecilia definitions, such as inline citations with document highlighting and document scoping
-
Use scoping to narrow the response generated. The scoped mode you select within a definition response will be remembered for future Cecilia definitions requests. However, the scope for Cecilia definitions will not be associated or tied with the scope selected for Cecilia Q&A
-
You can view the underlying citations that Cecilia retrieved and used when generating a definition by either hovering over an inline bracketed citation or by scrolling to the bottom of a response and expanding the Direct sources and/or Related excerpts
- Adding documents to search either by clicking a numbered, bracketed citation or by clicking the magnifying glass icons will also display the document highlighting once the corresponding search is executed and documents are opened – just like Cecilia Q&A!
FAQ
Q: How do I access Cecilia definitions?
A: If your database has Cecilia Q&A enabled, and you are in a role that has the Cecilia Q&A feature permission enabled by an admin within the Review Team roles page, you will automatically have access to Cecilia definitions.
Q: Where can I use definitions?
A: Users can instantly define acronyms, terms, or short phrases by selecting text nearly anywhere within Ediscovery — including search results, Cecilia Q&A questions answers, the metadata panel, filters, search visualization, topic clusters, and more.
Q: Are there any limits around selecting text?
A: Yes. Terms must be a minimum of 3 characters long and must be no longer than 5 words. If too few characters are selected, the define popup button will not appear. If too many words are selected, the define icon will be grayed out and a message will tell you to select less text.
Q: How do I incorporate definitions in my workflow?
A: Any time during the course of your fact investigation, define can be used to clarify an unfamiliar term or concept without needing to open a new browser tab and search the internet for its meaning. Because Cecilia definitions uses only the documents in your database to create a definition — with citations — you can be sure that the meaning provided is contextual to your case and that the definition can be verified.
Q: Can I scope Cecilia definitions?
A: To point Cecilia to a specific subset of documents (or exclude a subset) from consideration, scoping can be applied after the first term is defined. Within a login session, Cecilia definitions will remember the scope you set until you change it.
Q: Is there a specific role/feature permission for Cecilia definitions separate from Cecilia Q&A?
A: No. As long as you have the main Cecilia Q&A feature permission enabled, you will be able to use Cecilia definitions.
