Manage amendments in SharePoint Agreements

Amendments are documents added to signed, active agreements that modify the original parent agreement. Amendments can be used to alter content or field values of the signed agreement, including updating contact owners, changing payment terms, adding additional clauses, or extending the duration of the agreement. Users can amend an agreement by uploading a signed amendment PDF to the original agreement.

From the Agreements app in Microsoft Teams, on the Agreements list page, you can see that agreements with amendments have a populated Amended column with its most recent amendment effective date. Additionally, in the Details pane, field values altered by amendments have a tooltip indicator containing the effective date of the amendment that altered the values.
