Suggestions and Collaboration¶
Collaboration allows Contract Owners and Contributors to review draft contracts before activation.
Submit a Suggestion¶
Contributors can propose changes to any field in a Draft contract.
To submit a suggestion:
- Open the relevant contract section.
- Select the Suggestion button next to each contract content.
- Describe the proposed change.
- Provide any supporting information.
- Click Submit suggestion.
The suggestion is linked to the selected contract element, making it easier for reviewers to understand the context of the proposed change.
Note
Suggestions can only be created for contracts that are in the Draft status.
Note
New table suggestions are currently limited to the table name and physical type. Full schema suggestions, including fields and properties, will be supported in a future release.
Discuss a Suggestion¶
Each suggestion creates a dedicated discussion thread.
Participants can use the discussion thread to:
- Add comments and clarifications.
- Explain the business or technical reason for a change.
- Ask questions about the proposed update.
- Reply to existing comments.
Only users who have access to the contract can participate in discussions.
Important
Contract Owners must explicitly grant Contributor access before a user can review contracts, submit suggestions, or participate in discussions.
Process a Suggestion¶
Contract Owners review incoming suggestions and determine how they should be handled.
Suggestions are displayed directly on the affected contract fields and sections. When one or more suggestions require review, a notification banner appears in the contract form.
To review suggestions:
- Open the Draft contract.
- Select a suggestion indicator next to a field or section, or select Review all to review all pending suggestions.
- Review the proposed change and any related comments.
- Decide how to process the suggestion.
For each suggestion, a Contract Owner can:
- Accept the suggestion and apply the proposed change to the Draft.
- Decline the suggestion if the proposed change should not be applied.
Accepted and declined suggestions are removed from the review queue but remain available in the collaboration history.
Important
Suggestions and comments support the review process but do not modify the contract content until a Contract Owner accepts the suggestion.
