Updating the workflow includes at least one of: selecting a governing law or any other type of field or constraint controlling the updated version of the contract, adding a conditional variable to the contract, the conditional variable configured to acquire a value based on an input from the remote user, or the approver, adding or removing a portion of the contract based on a value of the conditional variable in the contract, and modifying a role for the approver.
