Clauses are elements of a contract that you can track, modify, and negotiate directly within your contracts. They help maintain a clear record of all exchanges and decisions made during negotiation.
Clause editing
Internal
When a clause is modified internally but has not yet been processed, the deleted text appears crossed out and in blue, while the added text is displayed in blue. The clause itself remains unchanged and outlined in blue.
If a suggestion is accepted by the counterparty, the clause is automatically marked as "Modified" and is displayed outlined in orange.
If the suggestion is rejected, the clause remains unchanged and outlined in blue.
External
When you send your document for review to a counterparty with suggestion rights, they can propose edits directly in the document.
If a clause is modified by the counterparty but not yet processed, the modified text appears crossed out, while the clause itself remains unchanged and outlined in blue (with brown text).
If you (or a member of your team) accept a suggestion, the clause is automatically marked as "Modified" and is displayed with an orange outline.
If you reject the suggestion, the clause remains unchanged and outlined in blue.
Review the history of all suggestions and changes
You can access the full history of accepted or rejected suggestions in the contract via review mode.
Open review mode
Go to the Annotations tab of the contract.
Click on Resolved to display accepted or rejected suggestions.
Use filters to display only certain types of comments, for example:
Suggestions from your counterparty
Public comments
This view allows you to easily track all changes and feedback made during negotiations.
Once a suggestion has been accepted or rejected, it cannot be undone. However, the full suggestion history remains available, allowing you to make further edits if needed.
A contract cannot be sent for signature until all suggestions have been addressed.
