You can summarize contracts, generate frequently asked questions \(FAQs\), and retrieve specific information from contracts in Contract Management Pro by using the Smart Documents feature.

To enable this feature in Contract Management Pro, do the following:

1.  Activate the smart documents skill in Document Management. For more information, see [Configure the smart documents skill](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/servicenow-platform/configure-skill-smart-documents.md).
2.  To enable contract summarization for contract documents, supporting documents, and signed contracts, add the following tables in the **Define availability** tab of smart documents skill.
    -   Contract \[ast\_contract\]
    -   Contract Document Revision \[sn\_cm\_core\_document\_revision\]
    -   Legal Contracts Repository \[sn\_lg\_cnt\_repository\]
    -   Supporting File \[sn\_cm\_core\_supporting\_file\]
3.  To enable users to access the contract summarization feature, add the following roles in the **Define access** tab of the smart documents skill.
    -   Contracts Core administrator \[sn\_cm\_core.contract\_admin\]
    -   Contracts Core user \[sn\_cm\_core.contract\_user\]
    -   Contracts Core fulfiller \[sn\_cm\_core.contract\_fulfiller\]
