# Modify Template Terms
Take the PXA course
After you [create a set of template terms](https://help.impact.com/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/contracts-and-template-terms/template-terms/create-template-terms), you can go back and modify those terms as your program develops.
#### Modify template terms
Terms that have no partners signed to them can be modified as often as you want. However, once a partner signs to that set of template terms, you must either modify their existing terms (i.e., modify their current contract with you) as shown below, or you must [switch them](https://help.impact.com/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/contracts-and-template-terms/contracts/replace-a-partners-contract) to a new or different set of terms.
Modify terms with no signed partners
1. From the left navigation menu, select  **\[Engage] → Contracts → Template Terms**.
2. Hover over the terms you want to modify, then select  **\[More]** **→ Modify Terms**.
3. Make your changes.
* See our article on [creating template terms](https://help.impact.com/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/contracts-and-template-terms/template-terms/create-template-terms) for more information on each section.
4. Select **Next**.
5. Review your changes, then if satisfied with the changes, select **Save**. If you are unhappy with the changes, select **Back** or **Cancel** and start again.
Modify terms with signed partners
Once partners have agreed to a set of template terms, you must now take into consideration when you want those partners to begin the new set of terms (known as the *modification start date*).
1. From the left navigation menu, select  **\[Engage] → Contracts → Template Terms**.
2. Find the terms you want to modify, then select  **\[More] → Modify Terms**.
3. Make your changes.
* See our article on [creating template terms](https://help.impact.com/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/contracts-and-template-terms/template-terms/create-template-terms) for more information on each section.
4. Select **Next**.
5. Review your changes, then if satisfied with the changes, select **Next**. If you are unhappy with the changes, select **Back** or **Cancel** and start again.
6. Confirm the *Contract Terms* and *Partners* that will be affected are correct.
7. Select a *Modification Start Date* for the new terms to take effect.
8. Check the  **\[Unchecked box]** if you want to allow partners on the existing contract to opt in early to the new changes.
9. Optionally, add any comments regarding the terms' changes that partners can read.
10. Select **Save**.

**Note:** If you catch any mistakes in your upcoming terms after you have selected **Save**, you must [retract the upcoming modification](https://help.impact.com/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/contracts-and-template-terms/template-terms/retract-template-term-modifications) before creating a new one.

| **Setting** | **Description** |
| Change contract length |  **\[Toggle on]** whether contracts sourced from these terms can have an **Ongoing** length or a **Temporary** one. |
| Change fallback terms | If contracts sourced from these terms have an end date, you can select what set of template terms their contract will fall back to once their current one ends.
You cannot set up multiple fallbacks. If you have set up a set of fallback terms with an individual partner, you must revoke that set of individual fallback terms.
|
| Withdraw upcoming switches |  **\[Toggle on]** if you want to cancel any term changes that would affect partners of *this specific set of terms*. |
| Withdraw pending proposals |  **\[Toggle on]** if you want to withdraw any proposals that would take partners off of this specific set of terms. |
| Comments | Partners will be notified of any template term setting changes, so you can optionally leave a comment regarding the change. |
4. Select **Submit**.
#### How are partners notified of term changes?
You can implement a [Change Notification Period](https://help.impact.com/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/contracts-and-template-terms/template-terms/set-and-manage-template-terms-rules) rule to set the default amount of time in days that partners are notified before contract changes go into effect. Partners can be notified about changes in their contracts in three ways:
1. **Email Notification** — Partners will receive notifications through their [Email notification settings](https://app.gitbook.com/s/b2rE79d9UhOKZQLgzSqx/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/dashboard/configure-platform-and-email-notifications-for-partners) about changes in their contract.
2. **In-app Notification** — Partners will receive notifications in-app about changes in their contract.
3. **In-app** — Partners can view *Upcoming Changes* for their contract in the *My Brands* section of the partner platform.
