# Updating or Amending a Contract (Terms & Conditions)

# Updating or Amending a Contract (Terms & Conditions)

Once a contract has been created in Sonas, it cannot be edited directly. The steps you should take depend on the current status of the contract.

## If the contract is still pending (not yet accepted)

You can **delete** the pending contract and create a new one. To do this:

1. Delete the current pending contract.
2. Create a new contract using your template.
3. Make the necessary changes during the pre-confirmation step, before submitting for approval.
4. Send the updated contract for acceptance.

Alternatively, you can create an **addendum** (a second contract) so the customer can accept both. This is often the easier and faster option if the changes are minor, such as adding a few line items.

> **Note:** You can only edit the content of a contract during the review step before you confirm and send it. Once a contract is generated and submitted for approval, it can no longer be modified in place. There is no "review mode" — editing is only possible before the contract is finalized and sent.

You can also edit a new contract before sending it. When you apply a template and create a new contract, you can modify the content before the final confirmation pop-up. See [this video](https://youtu.be/wk002us5Z74?si=kO_VXZXPXl_GxPpB) for a walkthrough.

## If the contract has been accepted

You **cannot amend or delete** an accepted contract. Instead, you have two options:

1. **Create an addendum** — Add a new contract as an addendum to cover the updated terms. The customer can then accept the addendum alongside the original.
2. **Create a new superseding contract** — Create a new contract and include wording such as *"This contract supersedes any previously accepted agreements."* It is recommended to consult your manager or legal team to ensure the superseding language is properly approved.

## Tips

* If you anticipate frequent amendments, consider using addendums as the standard workflow for handling changes after the initial contract is accepted.
* When creating a superseding contract, use wording approved by your legal team — for example: *"This contract supersedes any previously agreed contract."*
