An introduction to snippets

Learn how snippets can be used to vary a contract.

Overview

A snippet template is used to create additional text which you can add to a contract template to vary the content.

Snippet templates could be used to add additional information, terms and clauses, for example;

Or
  • Required
    At contract generation the snippet will form part of the contract, you cannot remove it.
