Foldly
1
Open the approved client proposal source
Use the text you already trust as the baseline in the Original column.

Check client proposal export against the source text
An export is the moment when text often becomes harder to inspect but more expensive to get wrong. Foldly extracts the export text, lines it up against the approved source, and gives you a faster way to confirm that the wording still matches.

How to do it in Foldly
2
Load the exported or returned file
Open the PDF or DOCX version beside it so Foldly can compare the extracted text.
3
Check high-risk sections first
Scope and pricing wording are especially sensitive in proposal exports.
4
Fix drift before the file goes out
If the wording changed in a way that matters, update the source or regenerate the export before distribution.
Inspect these first
- Start with pricing, scope, and assumptions.
- Check summary sections before low-risk appendix copy.
- Scope and pricing wording are especially sensitive in proposal exports.
- Inspect changed headings, summaries, and closing lines before lower-risk body copy.
Comparison setup
This is the practical shape of the workflow before you start reviewing changed lines.
Approved client proposal source
Starts as: Plain text, markdown, or the trusted working draft
Reviewed as: Editable Original column
Best for: Anchoring the review to wording the team has already approved.
Watch for: Late edits that were never reviewed in the source file.
Exported or returned file
Starts as: plain text, pdf text extraction, docx text extraction
Reviewed as: Extracted text in a comparison column
Best for: Finding wording drift before the final version is shared.
Watch for: Layout, comments, and image-only content are outside this text check.
Why client proposal exports need verification
Proposal exports often change at the last minute, and small wording drift can affect pricing, scope, or expectations.
- Start with pricing, scope, and assumptions.
- Check summary sections before low-risk appendix copy.
What teams usually do instead
Teams often do a hurried final read in the PDF alone, which makes it hard to isolate what actually changed from the source.
Why Foldly is better for client proposal export checks
Foldly lets you compare the export directly against the approved text so you can catch wording drift before it reaches the client.
What good looks like
- The exported client proposal matches the approved source where wording matters.
- Any drift is corrected before the final file is shared.
- A separate visual proof is used if layout, formatting, or design fidelity also matters.
Example scenario
Proposal export check
A consulting team compares the approved proposal source against the outgoing PDF version before sending it to a client.
Outcome: They catch a removed scope note and regenerate the file before the proposal goes out.
Limits and caveats
- Foldly compares extracted text, not the visual layout or formatting of the exported file.
- Scope and pricing wording are especially sensitive in proposal exports.

FAQ
Why is client proposal export verification a separate page?
Proposal verification is valuable because the review criteria are client-facing accuracy, scope clarity, and final-send confidence.
Should this replace a visual proof?
No. This workflow is for wording-level drift. If layout also matters, run a separate visual proof after the text check.
