At a glance

• “This request was blocked”: phrase the question more neutrally or more briefly and send it again. With criminal law or violence in documents, the filter can be oversensitive.
• “There was a temporary problem while preparing this answer”: click Try again.
• “The previous response is still running”: wait up to two minutes and try again.
• In reviews: Connection interrupted means the connection to the server dropped. Reconnect or Continue review carries on, and your document hasn't been changed.
• Long documents and research across several jurisdictions simply take longer. You can keep working in the meantime.
