Create a new Hire Contract version

Updated on First published Approx. 2 min read

A signed or shared Hire Contract can be locked. Use a new version when its contents need amending.

Inspect versions or create an amendment

  1. Open Hire Contracts on the contract and locate the agreement by its HC number.
  2. Inspect the required version’s period, status and sent or signed dates, then open that version.
  3. For an amendment, choose New Version from its row menu and read the warning. Select Continue to create it, or Cancel to leave it unchanged.
  4. For another Hire Contract identity, choose Duplicate from the row menu instead.
  5. Check the opened document’s HC number, version, period and charges before sharing.

Version history keeps earlier documents. New Version and Duplicate have different identity results.

For example, make a new version for an agreed change from weekly to daily hire. Check the copied charges and period rather than assuming they changed automatically.

See editing and authorisation.

FAQ

How do I inspect an older version or make a separate Hire Contract?

New Version amends the existing Hire Contract identity while retaining history. Duplicate creates another Hire Contract identity; check the number and version before sharing. See inspect versions or create an amendment for the steps.
