Operate a contract lifecycle

#Page purpose

Move one contract through document control, analysis, review, approval, signature, obligation and renewal work.

#Before you start

• Sign in as contract lawyers, reviewers and approvers and confirm WatheeqTech shows /lex/contracts/[id]; hidden controls indicate that your account lacks the required permission.
• Open the record from its owning register or a trusted notification so you begin with the correct tenant, record identifier and current lifecycle state.
• Collect the reason, authority and supporting evidence required for any governed decision or state transition.

#How to use this page

1. 1
   Verify the record and state

   Confirm contract metadata and classification, then identify or upload the current governed file version before running analysis or review.

2. 2
   Complete the permitted action

   Work through Review desk, Clauses and Compliance findings, resolve redlines and deviations, and complete the recommended approval tasks with evidence.

3. 3
   Confirm the transition

   Create the signature envelope only from the approved final version, then monitor custody, obligations, expiry and renewal before archiving the contract.

#Governance and expected result

• Operate only within the tenant, role and record visibility granted to you.
• Record the decision, reason and supporting evidence before completing a governed action.
• Use the page action for the transition rather than changing source data or maintaining a parallel offline status.
• Verify the resulting status, owner, timeline, version or audit event before leaving the page.
