Note: Similar Questions only searches within your organization and the current program. Questions from the same information request file you're working in are excluded.
Finding the Similar Questions panel
Open any question in HAQ Manager. The Similar Questions panel appears automatically on the right side of the screen. Weave searches your organization's question history and returns up to 20 matches, ranked by relevance.
The Similar Questions panel loads when you open a question
Reading relevance tiers
Each similar question is labeled HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW based on how closely it matches your current question. Weave uses a combination of character-level text similarity and shared key terms to produce this score.
| Tier | What it means |
|---|---|
| HIGH | Strong match — the question covers the same topic and uses similar language |
| MEDIUM | Partial match — meaningful overlap, but the scope or framing differs |
| LOW | Weak match — some shared terms, but the questions address different things |
Results are sorted from highest to lowest relevance. Review HIGH-tier matches first.
Tip: The panel refreshes every time you open it. If you've refined your question text, reopen the panel to get updated matches.
Viewing a past question and its response
Click the open icon (the box-with-arrow icon) next to any similar question to open it in a new tab. From there you can:
- Read the full question text
- Review the Weave-drafted response
- See the submitted response file, if one has been attached
Click the open icon to view the full question and its response in a new tab
Note: Submitted response files shown here are manually attached and may not be complete. They are a reference tool, not a replacement for the authoritative version in your document management system.
Using a past response for your current question
There is no one-click option to copy a past response into your current question yet. The current way to use prior work is to add the previous response document as a source file.
In your current question, go to Response Source Files and manually add the prior response document from the Data Room. Weave will draw on it when generating your response.
Add the prior response document to your source files to let Weave reference it
Once your source files are set, you're ready to generate your response. See [How to generate and refine a response in HAQ Manager] to continue.
FAQ
Q: Why isn't the Similar Questions panel showing questions I'd expect?
A: The panel matches based on question text and metadata. If an expected match isn't appearing, make sure the question type and discipline are correct on both questions. If the match still seems missing, report the specific pair to your customer success contact.
Q: Can I search for similar questions across other programs or assets?
A: Not yet. Similar Questions is currently scoped to your organization and the current program. Cross-program search is on the longer-term roadmap.
Q: Are questions from the same information request file included?
A: No. Weave excludes questions from the same IR file you're currently working in.
