# Edit a contract clause variation

Edit a clause variation to modify the content that will be used in a contract template.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_cm\_core.contract\_config

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Contracts Core** > **Contract Administration** > **Clause Management**.

2.  Select a clause.

3.  In the Clause Variations related list, select the clause variation.

4.  On the form Clause Variation form, edit the fields that you want to modify.

    For a description of the field values, see [Clause Variation form](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/contract-management-pro/cncore-cv-form.md).

5.  Right-click in the form header and select **Save**.

    The imported document is parsed and the content controls extracted are listed in the Clause Variation Fields related list.

6.  Select **Update**.


## Result

If the updated clause variation is associated with a published contract template and new fields are available after parsing, the Unmapped meta data related list appears with the unmapped fields listing. For instructions on how to complete the template mapping, see [Update contract template mappings](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/contract-management-pro/cncore-template-mapping.md).
