Mirroring lets you create a new report by uploading an existing document — such as a previous due diligence report or a template document — and having Daedaline replicate its structure. The result is a new report whose sections match the headings and structure of the uploaded document, with content generated from your project’s own documents. This is useful when you need to produce a report in a specific format that has already been established by a client, regulator, or internal standard.

​
How to mirror a report

  1. Open the Report Composer tab inside a project.
  2. Click Create Report to open the Create a report dialog.
  3. Drag your reference document onto the Mirror Existing Report drop zone at the top of the dialog, or click it to browse for a file.

Project summary requirement

Mirroring requires a project summary to be present. The summary provides context about the project so the generated content can be intelligently tailored to your documents. If no project summary exists when you attempt to mirror a report, a Generate Project Summary button is shown in the Mirror drop zone. Click it to automatically generate a summary from your project’s documents before uploading a file.

​
Analysis in progress

After the file is accepted, the report is created immediately and opens on an Analyzing report screen while Daedaline parses the document. You will see the stage update as it progresses:
  • Queued
  • Converting document
  • Reading pages
  • Analyzing pages (page x of y)
  • Creating sections
When analysis completes, the report switches into plan mode with the mirrored outline populated — each section corresponds to a heading from the reference document. You can cancel the analysis at any time using the Cancel button in the toolbar.

​
After mirroring

From plan mode you can:
  • Review and adjust section titles or descriptions before generation.
  • Use Report Chat to search or read directly from the uploaded source document — these tools are only available on mirrored reports.
  • Reorder, add, or remove sections to refine the outline.
  • Click Accept & Generate Report to generate content for every draft section.
Mirroring is a starting point, not a locked structure. The outline is fully editable in plan mode — add, remove, reorder, and rewrite sections before generating content.
