What happens when a contract is deleted?

When you delete a signed contract, it is immediately removed from any contract spaces, company views, including your private contract views, and placed into a hidden company garbage bin.

  • External signees: Deleting a contract for your company means that a copy of the contract can still remain accessible for signees or direct shares that were initiated with anyone outside your company users.

  • Recovery: Because there is currently no user interface for the garbage bin, you cannot review or restore the files yourself. If you deleted a signed contract by mistake and need to restore it, you mustcontact our Support team for technical assistance.
