If you need to update a contract after sending it, your ability to edit depends on how the contract was originally created. This guide explains when editing is possible, what to do if it isn’t, and how contract changes affect any linked invoices.

🛠 Can I Edit a Contract After Sending It?

Editing availability depends on the contract type.

Contracts Created Directly in Maroo

If the contract was built from scratch inside Maroo, you may be able to edit it before it’s signed.

To check:

Go to your Contracts page.
Click the three dots next to the contract you want to modify.
Select Edit contract.

If editing is supported for that contract, you’ll be guided through the sections you can update.

❗Note: Editing is only available before any signer has completed their signature.

🔧 What you can edit

Below is a quick overview of what you’re able to update on the contract:

✏️ Edit Contract Details

📝 Review contract information — Check the contract name, expiration date, client type, and signer details.
👤 Update signer settings — Adjust signer name, email, or add additional signers using + Add signer.
🔄 Modify signing preferences — Turn on/off countersigning, choose whether you sign before or after the client, and decide whether to copy the planner.

If everything looks correct on this page, click Continue to proceed.

📅 Edit Event Details

Here’s what you can edit in the Event details section:

🎉 Event type — Update the type of event (e.g., wedding, birthday, corporate).
📆 Event date — Adjust the event date if it has changed.
🏷️ Event name — Edit or refine the event name.
📍 Event location — Update the venue or address.
🏙️ City, state, ZIP, and country — Make sure all location details are accurate.

Once all details are accurate, select Continue to move forward.

📤 Choose How You Want to Upload or Sign

Here’s what you can select on this step:

📄 Upload scan — Choose this option if you already have a contract signed offline or signed using another e‑sign tool and simply want to upload it to Maroo.
✍️ Electronic signature — Select this if you want to sign the contract electronically on Maroo. These contracts carry full legal validity in case of disputes.

📄 Contracts Uploaded as PDFs

Contracts uploaded as PDF files cannot be edited within Maroo.

If you need to make changes:

Delete the existing contract
Upload or create a corrected version
Send the updated version for signature

💰 What Happens to Invoices Linked to a Contract?

Invoices remain active and unchanged, even if the contract they were linked to is removed. This means you can safely delete and recreate a contract without affecting any payment requests already sent to your clients.

⚠️ Deleting a contract does not delete its associated invoices.

🔄 Best Practice for Updating a Non‑Editable Contract

If the contract cannot be edited:

Delete the existing contract
Upload or create the updated version
Send the corrected contract for signature

This ensures your client receives the most accurate terms before signing.

🖊 Editing a Contract After It Has Been Signed

Once a contract has been sent for e‑signature, certain restrictions apply to protect the integrity of the agreement.

If any signer has already signed the contract, it can no longer be edited.
This ensures the signed document remains secure and unchanged for all parties.

If changes are required at this stage:

Delete the signed contract
Create a new version with the updated terms
Send it again for signatures

💡 Tip: If you previously saved a contract template, you can quickly generate a new version using that template — saving time when recreating the document.
