How to Edit File Information for Uploaded Contracts and My Templates

Accurately registering contract file information allows you to more easily search and organize documents in LegalOn.

Adding a status to uploaded contracts also helps with version management.


Edit File Status or File Name

You can edit the file name or status from the [Versions] section.

  1. Click the […] icon next to a file version

  2. Select the edit option for either file name or status

Edit Basic Information or Attributes

Open the file detail screen and go to the [Contract information] tabs. The editable fields are grouped into two categories:

  • [Basic Information]
    You can edit the basic information of a contract. This information applies only to each specific file.

  • [Attributes]
    You can edit the attributes of a contract. This information is shared across all versions linked to the file.
