Duplicate a contract

How can you duplicate a contract and understand which elements are copied or not in the new contract?

Updated over a week ago

Tomorro allows you to easily duplicate a contract regardless of its status (Draft, Negotiating, Signing, or Signed) in order to create a new contract based on an existing one without starting from scratch.

This feature is useful to quickly recreate a similar contract (for example an NDA or a recurring contract) while keeping the important information from the original contract.

During duplication, most information is automatically copied. However, some elements—especially those related to signature—are not duplicated.


Duplicate a contract

  • Open the contract you want to duplicate.

  • Click "..." (top right).

  • Select "Duplicate this contract".

  • Modify if necessary:

    • The contract name

    • The counterparty

    • The folder where the contract will be stored

  • Click Duplicate

The new contract is automatically created with the Draft status and can be modified at any time.


Content of the duplicated contract

The duplicated contract automatically includes several elements from the original contract.

Copied elements

The following elements are kept:

  • the contract document

    • if the contract was signed → the signed version is copied

    • otherwise → the last saved version is copied

  • custom fields and their values

  • the counterparty

  • attachments

  • contract information

All these elements remain editable in the new contract.

Elements not copied

Some elements are intentionally not duplicated:

  • signature certificates (each signature is unique)

  • signature statuses

  • participants

  • the activity history of the original contract

The new contract therefore always starts again with the Draft status.


Verify signatories after duplication

When you duplicate a contract, the signatories from the original contract are also copied into the new contract.

Before sending the contract for signature, remember to review and update the information if necessary:

  • modify the signatories

  • update email addresses

  • adjust custom fields that must differ from the original contract

⚠️ If you do not modify the signatories, the same counterparties will receive the signature request for this new contract.


Good to know: If you need to keep a copy of a signed contract with its certificate, remember to download the signature certificate before duplicating the contract.
