What if it is already signed?

If Pacten can see it was already signed, it says so and creates the contract as executed, with the signatories it found.

Can I still see the original file?

Yes. The contract shows the original as uploaded, and the Original button opens the file.

Uploading a contract you already have - Pacten Guides

2026-10-13

If the contract was written somewhere else, upload it. Pacten reads it and fills in the contract for you to check.

Start an upload

Go to Contracts → New contract, choose Upload a document, optionally pick a client under Attach to, and click Choose a file.

Drop the file in

Drop a PDF or DOCX (up to 10MB) on the page, then click Read with Pacten.

Check what it found

The Extracted terms column shows a confidence score, any gaps to review, and editable fields: title, the two parties, total value, currency, payment terms and governing law. Anything empty is marked REVIEW.

Create the contract

Click Create contract. The original file is stored with it.

Unsigned uploads need signatories

An upload that is not signed yet arrives with no signatories. Open the contract, click Edit, and add them on the Signatures tab before you send it.
