How to rotate a document in ContractSafe
Correct a sideways or upside-down scan for easier viewing without changing the stored file.
To rotate a document in ContractSafe, open the contract, click the gear icon near the contract viewer, and choose Clockwise or Counter clockwise. The rotation is temporary and only changes how the page displays, not the stored file.
If you realize a contract you've just uploaded was scanned sideways, don't worry. You can simply rotate the document back to its proper position for easy viewing.
Temporarily rotate a document in the viewer
To rotate a document in the ContractSafe viewer:
- Open a contract.
- Click the gear icon near the contract viewer.

- Select the desired rotation direction:
a. Clockwise
b. Counter clockwise
What to do if the gear icon isn't visible
In cases where the gear icon isn't visible on top of the contract/document preview screen, it's being hidden because the whole browser page is too zoomed in. Try zooming out of your web browser by clicking the three dots (on Google Chrome).

Make the rotation permanent
Note: The Page Rotation is temporary, and will reset back to the original orientation once the page has been exited or reloaded.
To make the orientation of the document permanent, please download it, rotate it using your software of choice, then re-add the document to ContractSafe.
ContractSafe's OCR and AI can still read and scan through your documents even though they're rotated. However, for best results, please make sure the document is properly oriented before uploading it to the system.
For the download step, see How do I download my contract? To swap the corrected file in without creating a duplicate, see How to replace or update a contract file in ContractSafe. Need more room to read? See How can I view my document as a full page?
