How do you track contract versions (amendments, replacements) while keeping the document history?

In Jestor, each contract can have multiple document versions linked to it — such as the original contract, amendments, and replacements — and the entire history stays preserved in the documents tab, without losing any earlier version.

How version tracking works

When a contract is registered, the first file enters as document version 1.0, with a "current" status and "original contract" type. When an amendment needs to be added, it's registered as a new version (for example, 2.0), linked to the same contract. When that new document is activated, the original contract's status changes to "replaced," keeping the complete history of everything that's ever been generated.

Document type	Typical status
Original contract	Current (version 1.0)
Amendment	Current (new version, e.g., 2.0)
Earlier replaced version	Replaced (kept in the history)

How to register a new contract version

Go to the documents tab and click "new document."
Select which contract the new file belongs to.
Choose the document type (amendment, replacement, etc.) and description.
Save — the previous document can then be marked as "replaced" on the corresponding contract.
