All Deal Memo Guides
Exporting & Managing
TL;DR — Export any memo as a PDF, soft-delete deals you no longer need, and share the PDF link directly with crew.
PDF Export
Click the Export PDF button on any deal memo to generate a professional contract document. The PDF can be accessed two ways:
- Authenticated — Through the app, using the memo’s ID. Only project members can access this.
- Public via signing token — The crew member can access their PDF through the same signing link, no login needed.
What’s in the PDF
The exported PDF includes everything needed for a complete contract record:
- 1 Header — Project name, crew member name, and deal date.
- 2 Terms table — All deal terms laid out in a clean table format.
- 3 Numbered clauses — All enabled clauses with placeholders filled in.
- 4 Signature blocks — Rendered signature images with names and dates for both crew member and producer.
Uploading a Signed Copy
For deals signed on paper or outside the electronic flow, you can upload a scanned or photographed copy of the physical document. This keeps a digital record alongside the generated deal memo.
- Accepted formats — PDF, JPEG, PNG, HEIC, WebP, and TIFF (up to ~15 MB). HEIC photos from iPhone are automatically converted to WebP.
- Scan badge — A blue “Scan” badge appears on the memo card once a document has been uploaded.
- View Scan — Opens the uploaded document in a new browser tab.
- Replace Scan — Upload a newer version to replace the existing scan at any time.
Soft-Deleting Memos
Deal memos are never permanently destroyed. When you delete a memo, it’s soft-deleted — hidden from the main list but still recoverable. To manage deleted memos:
- Toggle Show Deleted to reveal soft-deleted memos.
- Click Restore on any deleted memo to bring it back.
Tips
- Export after countersigning — Wait until the deal is fully executed so the PDF includes both signatures.
- Share the PDF link — Crew members can access their PDF through the signing token URL without needing an account.
- Keep drafts tidy — Soft-delete test memos or abandoned deals to keep your Deals tab clean.
