Track Every Change with Confidence using Datum Audit

Datum

17 June, 2025


In real estate, contracts don’t stand still. Lease terms evolve. Clauses are amended. Renewals get renegotiated. And often, the details of what changed, when it changed, and why it matters are lost in the shuffle.

Whether it’s version 3 of a lease or a critical amendment buried in a 12-page side letter, understanding how your lease has changed over time is crucial. Unfortunately, most systems and spreadsheets offer no clean way to track those changes—and that’s where risks start to build.


The Real Cost of Version Blindness

  • Compliance gaps from missed or undocumented updates

  • Confusion across teams when different versions are in use

  • Financial exposure from untracked rent escalations or new obligations

  • Lost time spent digging through emails or PDFs for old terms

And as portfolios scale, so does the mess. Managing a single lease is one thing—tracking 100 evolving contracts across multiple regions? That’s something else entirely.


With Datum Audit you access Historical Intelligence, Instantly.

Datum Audit gives you complete visibility into the history of your leases and contracts, showing what changed, when it changed, and exactly how it compares to prior versions.


With one click

  • View all past versions of a lease or document

  • Compare key term changes side-by-side

  • Track future changes already written into the contract

  • Understand how each modification affects your obligations

No more guesswork. No more back-and-forth. Just a clear, clickable audit trail built into your document workflow.


How It Works – A Walkthrough

  1. Upload or Sync Your Lease
    Add your document to Datum’s platform — whether it’s a brand-new lease or the latest amendment.

  2. Automatic Version Control
    Every time a lease is updated, Datum logs it — capturing changes in real time and keeping a timestamped history.

  3. Audit View: One Click, Total Clarity
    Open the Audit panel to see all previous versions, visual differences in key terms, and upcoming changes already scheduled.

  4. Clause-Level Comparisons
    Highlight any term — from rent amount to subletting clauses — and see how it’s shifted over time.

  5. Share & Export
    Need to report changes to stakeholders? Export a change log or share a visual side-by-side comparison in seconds.


From Reactive to Proactive

Datum Audit doesn’t just help you understand the past—it helps you stay ahead of the future. Whether it’s a rent step-up due next quarter or a pending break clause, you’ll always know what’s coming and what came before.
