What does “deviation from standard” mean in Peak Sign?

A contract made from a template keeps its standard for comparison. “Against standard” shows every place where the draft differs from it: changed terms (price, term, notice period) and changed, new or removed clauses. With “Mark changes from standard” you see them right in the document. If a protected clause differs (liability, for example), the contract can only be sent once an owner or admin approves exactly this version; every further text change needs a new approval.
