After you've sent an agreement, you can update the cover page terms using Propose Changes. When you submit, your recipient gets an email notification and can review a redlined version of the cover page showing exactly what changed.

This option is only available for in-flight agreements that haven't yet been signed by either party.

From the agreement history page, click Other actions and select Propose changes. This opens the cover page editor where you can update any of the deal terms.

Make your changes to the cover page fields. When you're ready, click Submit changes in the top right corner. Your recipient will receive an email letting them know the agreement has been updated. Proposing changes without sending this email is currently unsupported.

If you want to discard your edits, click Cancel changes. Your changes will be lost immediately - there is no confirmation step, so make sure you're ready before clicking.

NOTE: There's no preview option for proposed changes - your edits are either saved and sent to the recipient or discarded.

When you submit, your recipient receives an email notifying them the agreement has changed. When they open it, they'll see a redlined version of the cover page that highlights what's different from the previous version.

NOTE: This redlined view only appears when changes were submitted through Common Paper's Propose Changes workflow. If your counterparty sends modifications outside of Common Paper - for example, in a Word document with tracked changes or via email - those changes won't appear as redlines in the agreement. To incorporate their changes, use Propose Changes yourself to update the cover page terms to reflect what was agreed.

Recipients may be able to use Propose Changes to suggest updated terms - but only if the sender has enabled this option. If the sender has allowed it, you'll see Propose changes in the Other Actions menu from the agreement view.

After you submit a round of proposed changes, Propose changes disappears from Other Actions. You can't propose another round until the sender reviews and responds - either by accepting or proposing something back. There's no in-app notification when they respond, so check back on the agreement or watch for an email.

NOTE: There's no built-in way to message the other party from within the agreement. If you need to discuss the terms while waiting for a response, reach out to them directly.

You can propose changes as many times as needed. Each time you submit, your recipient gets a new notification and sees the latest cover page. You can keep making changes until either party signs the agreement.

The download option isn't available while you're actively editing - the editor only shows Submit changes and Cancel changes. Once you've submitted your changes, you can download the latest version from the agreement history page.
