# Add document content controls using Microsoft Word add-in for ServiceNow Contracts

Add content controls using the Microsoft Word add-in for ServiceNow Contracts. Content controls act as placeholders in contract templates.

The Microsoft Word add-in for ServiceNow Contracts enables you to add content controls for metadata, signatories, clauses, and table into the contract document from the following tabs.

-   Metadata: View and add metadata for fields, variable, and variable sets to pre-fill the information in the contract document.
-   Signatory: View and add signatories to add their signatures in the contract document.
-   Clauses: View and add clause and clause variations to a contract document.
-   Table: Determine the data that will be added from a data source table in your ServiceNow instance to a table in a contract document

You can also switch application scope and log out using the following options:

-   Switch scope icon: Use the switch scope icon \(\[Omitted image "cmpro-addin-scope.png"\] Alt text: Switch scope icon\) to set the correct scope to enable editing of the contract template. This icon is active when you select a contract template for editing and also have an admin role.
-   Logout icon: Use Logout icon \(\[Omitted image "cmpro-addin-logout.png"\] Alt text: Logout icon\) to log out from Microsoft Word add-in for ServiceNow Contracts.
