Key Capabilities

Cross-cutting capabilities built into Contracts.

E-Signatures

Client portal with digital signature workflows. External stakeholders can review, comment, and sign documents without internal accounts.

Granular Permissions

Document-level access control beyond organization roles. Control who can view, edit, approve, or share each document independently.

Change Tracking

Every edit creates a new version with full diff visibility. Compare any two versions side-by-side with highlighted changes.

PDF Generation

Professional PDF output via Headless Chrome. Auto-generated TOC, cover pages, dynamic headers/footers, and custom branding.

Multi-Tenant Isolation

Complete organization-level data isolation. Documents, templates, and clauses are fully scoped to their organization.

Comprehensive Audit Trail

Every action on every document is logged with timestamp, user, and details. Full history for compliance and legal discovery.
