The Contract Editor

Last update: Tuesday, Jul 29, 2025

The Editor

The editor is accessible via the “+ add contract” button. 

Please note that it is no longer available within the familiar Workdesk environment.

Clicking the button will take you directly into the redesigned editor.

Using the Editor

On the right side of the screen, you’ll find all the metadata fields that can be completed. On the left, you have the option to upload one or more documents using the designated upload area.

If you upload multiple documents, you can switch between them at the top of the editor to preview them.

At the bottom of the screen, our trusted AI Assistant Ada will provide suggestions to help pre-fill metadata fields. You may choose to accept or reject these suggestions. The same suggestions will also appear next to the corresponding fields on the right side.

Ada’s suggestions follow the chronological order of our metadata fields. Just like in the Workdesk, you can fill out all relevant fields. The process concludes with a summary section at the bottom of your page.

Important note: The document must be saved before you can use Ada to ask questions.

Ada can answer questions about the entire content of the document. Some examples include:

  • “Give me a detailed summary of the document”

  • “List the key dates in bullet points”

  • “Provide a short summary in French”

  • “Is there an exclusivity clause in the document?”

Your tasks are generated once the contract has been saved.

Saving and Navigation Options

At the top of the screen, you’ll find the following options:

  • Cancel: deletes all entered data and returns you to the home page

  • Save: saves the contract and keeps you in the editor

  • Save & Close: saves all data and redirects you to the new contract overview page

The Redesigned Overview Page

The contract overview page has also been completely revamped, based on valuable customer feedback. Special attention was given to improving usability and preparing the interface for future updates.

A new feature allows you to ask Ada questions about the contract at any time, without needing to return to the editor.

The overview page now includes a clear navigation structure, allowing you to view different types of information in separate tabs.

Below the navigation bar, you’ll find a concise overview of key information:

  • All settings related to read permissions (e.g. folder, location, department)

  • A timeline with key dates and upcoming tasks

  • The parties linked to the contract

  • The documents associated with the contract

  • The workflows involving the documents

  • Related contracts

  • Custom fields

If you see anything that requires editing, you can return to the editor at any time by clicking “Edit” in the top right corner.
