Collaborating on a Counterparty Initiated Contract

Estimated reading: 2 minutes 205 views

Collaborating on a contract that a counterparty initiated works much like collaborating on one your own organisation created, with the same tools for reviewing, editing and commenting.

Adding and managing collaborators

Invite and manage collaborators the same way you would for an organisation initiated contract.

Reviewing and editing a shared contract

  1. Go to the Contracts tab.
  2. In the top left corner, click the view name and select Shared With Me.
  3. Open the contract you want to review.
  4. If you have Write permission, edit the contract document directly.

Only collaborators with Write permission can make edits, and edits are limited to the document content, not the details panel on the left.

Adding contextual comments

  1. Open the contract from the Shared With Me view.
  2. Switch to Review Mode at the top of the document editor.
  3. Highlight the text and click Add Comment on the toolbar.
  1. Enter your comment in the right side panel.
  2. Set the comment’s visibility: My Organization Members (the default, visible to the owner and collaborators with Write or Comment permission) or Everyone (also visible to negotiators).
  3. Click Add.

You can also add a comment from the smart toolbar by selecting text and clicking Add Comment, provided you have Write permission.

Editing or deleting a comment

  1. Open the contract from the Shared With Me view and switch to Review Mode.
  1. In the Comments panel, hover over the comment.
  2. Click More and choose Edit or Delete.

In Compose Mode, clicking on commented text shows the comment in a dialog box.

Tracking changes

Tracking changes and managing comments works the same way as for organisation initiated contracts.

Frequently asked questions

Who can edit a shared counterparty initiated contract?

Only collaborators with Write permission can edit the document content, and edits are limited to the document itself, not the details panel.

Who can see a comment I add to a shared contract?

It depends on the visibility you set: My Organization Members shows it to the owner and collaborators with Write or Comment permissions, while Everyone also shows it to negotiators.
