Track Contract Amendments and Change History – GoldFinch Clientcare

Preserve the original agreement while recording amendments, extensions, value changes, and other approved contract changes.

Choose the correct change method

Use a file version when users revise the same draft. Record a formal amendment separately and link it to the original contract. A field update records the current structured value but may not explain the legal change on its own.

Capability	Classification	How it is provided
Draft revision	File version	Upload a new version of the same draft during review.
Executed amendment	Separate document and record	Retain the signed amendment and relate it to the original contract.
Current value	Field update	Update the current contract value after approval while retaining amendment evidence.
Audit evidence	History and approval records	Use field history, approval history, and system audit information as configured.
