If you need to change a contract template, either needing to add or remove a mandatory field or to add or remove legal text, this article will cover how to edit a contract template in your project.
If you find yourself needing to make edits to your document after creating it, you still have the ability to do so. However, the process varies depending on whether the contract template has already been signed. If a contract has been signed, you are legally unable to modify the template. But if the document is unsigned, you can proceed with editing it.
Note: Archiving a contract does not delete or destroy your previous contracts, it just hides the template so it doesn’t get used again.

Overview
Once you’ve logged into your account on app.mesuite.com, you can click on SingME on the left side bar.
Editing an UNSIGNED Contract
1) If you have an unsigned contract, you can edit the document simply by finding the contract you’re looking for, and clicking Manage > Edit to edit the contract template.
2) Once you’re on the edit contract template page, you can make any changes to the name or the structure of the template:
3) Next, click Continue to Contract Builder to edit the content of your template. In the contract builder, you can change your legal language, add or remove singer blocks, or change which singer fields are mandatory or not.
4) Once you are done making changes, click on the Next button on the bottom left to preview your document. If all looks correct, you can click Next to choose your customized settings for signers.
5) When you’re done, click Update to finalize your edits.
Editing a SIGNED Contract
1) If you have a signed contract, you’ll need to duplicate the contract.
2) The duplicated template will automatically be created and will have “Copy of….” affixed to the name of the duplicated document.
3) You can then click on Manage > Edit to change this document by following the instructions above. We recommend renaming the document so you don’t get confused as to which contract you are deploying.
Conclusion
That’s it! Once your contract has been edited or duplicated successfully, you will now be able to deploy this new contract using SignME.
