Deck versions and founder corrections
A new deck becomes the next version on the deal, and earlier versions keep their citations. Founder corrections sit next to the facts read from the deck.
A deal can have several decks. Each upload becomes the next version, Deck v1, Deck v2 and so on, and goes through its own scan and analysis. Earlier versions stay, and their citations keep pointing at the version they came from. When a founder corrects a fact read from their deck, you see the correction next to the original.
See every version
Open the deal's Files tab. Deck versions lists each one, newest first:
- Deck v3, with Latest on the newest
- the file name, size, who uploaded it (Founder, through the portal, or Your team with the person's name) and when, in your fund's time zone
- its analysis status and Deck quality
- Open, which shows that version on the Evidence tab
Upload a new version
Founders can send a new version themselves from their workspace (Upload a new deck version) until you send your decision; it shows as Founder, through the portal. To add one yourself:
- On Files, click Upload new version.
- In Upload deck v3, click Choose the deck file, or drop the file. PDF or PowerPoint (.pptx), up to 50 MB.
- Click Upload. To stop, click Cancel upload.
You see "Deck v3 uploaded. Scanning and analysis have started." The upload also appears on the Activity tab.
Admins, Partners and the Analyst who owns the deal can upload.
What a new version changes
| Where | What you see |
|---|---|
| Brief and Deck quality | The newest version that finished its analysis. If it's older than the latest upload, the brief says From deck v2 |
| Evidence | The newest version whose slides can be shown. Pick another under Deck version; the list marks (latest) and any version still processing |
| Citations | Each Slide chip opens the version it came from. Chips from an older version show it, such as v1 |
| Facts | The newer deck's facts replace the older deck's facts for the same item, such as revenue. Founder corrections stay |
| Claims | Claims from every version stay, each cited to its own version |
If you upload the exact same file again, the earlier analysis is reused.
Founder corrections
After applying, founders see the company facts read from their deck in their workspace, and can correct any of them. See Correct what was read from your deck for what they see.
Founders can correct facts until you send your decision message (or they withdraw); then the list is read only for them. A correction never changes the original. On Evidence, the fact shows:
- the original, in a lilac AI suggestion box with its Slide chip, crossed out
- the founder's value beside it, under Founder correction
The side sheet's Top facts shows the founder's value with "(founder correction)". If the founder corrects the same fact again, you see their latest correction.
Frequently asked questions
Can I delete an older version?
No. Versions stay, so every citation keeps resolving to the slide it came from.
Why doesn't the latest version show on Evidence?
Its slides can't be shown until it has been scanned clean and read. Until then, Evidence shows the newest version that can be opened, and the job tracker above it shows the new version's progress.
Can the founder upload a new deck themselves?
Yes. Before sending, they replace it freely in the draft. After sending, Upload a new deck version in their workspace adds the next version, until you send your decision or they withdraw. It goes through the same scan and analysis, and the earlier version keeps its citations.
Can a founder correct facts after we decide?
No. Once a decision message is sent, or the founder withdraws, their corrections are read only. The corrections they sent before stay.
