Change Order Tiers

The steps that you use to create a change order depend on the change order tier setting configured on the Procore project tool used to create the original contract. To learn more, see What are the different change order tier settings in Project Financials?

Signature Required Column Now Available in Change Orders Tool (12/05/2025)

Procore added a 'Signature Required' column to the Change Orders tool. When users link their DocuSign^© account to a Procore project, this column works just like it does in the Prime Contracts tab, eliminating the need to search through the Change History tab on a commitment or prime contract determine the change order's signature status. To learn how this column works, see When does the 'Signature Required' column in the Change Orders tool display the signer's name?
