Templates
Save contracts as reusable templates with pre-filled defaults.
Why use templates?
If you regularly generate the same types of contracts — NDAs, service agreements, consulting contracts — templates let you skip the repetitive setup. Save any finished contract as a template, and future contracts of that type start with your preferred structure, language, and default field values already in place.
Saving a contract as a template
Open a completed contract
Navigate to the contract you want to use as the basis for your template. This should be a contract whose structure and language you want to reuse.
Click "Save as Template"
From the contract's action menu, select Save as Template. A dialog opens where you configure the template.
Set template details
Give the template a name (e.g., "Standard NDA" or "Monthly Retainer Agreement") and an optional description. Choose which fields should be pre-filled with default values from your business profile — your company name, address, and standard terms are automatically included.
Save
The template appears in your Templates list, ready for one-click contract generation.
Generating from a template
From the Templates section in the sidebar, click on any template and select Generate Contract. QuickContract creates a new contract pre-filled with the template's default values. You only need to fill in the deal-specific details — the other party's name, specific dates, pricing — and the AI generates the rest using your template's structure as a guide.
This is significantly faster than generating from scratch, especially for contracts you create frequently.
Editing template settings
Templates are not locked after creation. You can update a template at any time:
- Name and description — rename the template or update its description
- Default fields — change which values are pre-filled (e.g., update your default payment terms from Net 30 to Net 15)
- Template content — modify the base contract language that the template uses as its starting structure
Changes to a template only affect future contracts generated from it. Existing contracts created from the template are not modified.
Pair templates with your Clause Library for maximum efficiency. Generate from a template, then insert specific clauses from your library to customize each contract for the deal at hand.
On a Team plan, templates saved to a shared workspace are available to all team members. This ensures everyone generates contracts with approved language and consistent structure. See Shared Workspaces for details.
