Why can't I edit an approved contract?

If your organization has the 'Contract Approvals' feature enabled, you may be unable to edit or attach additional documents to finalized contracts. If you see the error message 'Contracts cannot be edited after they are approved', your organization does not allow contracts to be edited after they have gone through an approval workflow.

If you need to edit an approved contract, you might consider the following options:

• Contact Procore Support.
• Reach out to your Procore point of contact directly.
• Communicate with a Company Admin within your organization.
