Splitting Clauses

You can split clauses in a received contract or received amendment in the Contract Editor or Word Editor.

Before you begin

To split clauses, the following criteria must be met:

The contract is in the Draft or In Negotiation state.
You hold the lock to the clause and have the necessary permissions to split the clause.

To split a clause, complete the following steps:

Open a contract in the Contract Editor or Word Editor.
Place your cursor at the text where you want to split the clause.
Note: Do not place the cursor in a term definition, clause title, or table. Ensure that no text is selected.
Right-click, and select Split Clause.
The clause is split at the location of the cursor. The new clause appears in the Contents pane with the first 50 characters of the clause as the clause name. The new clauses inherit all properties of the original clause.
