# contractorOps.agreements.keepAsHistory

Keep an agreement filed with a contractor as history instead of reading its terms (contractorId, envelopeId, idempotencyKey), such as one that couldn't be read, isn't a contractor agreement, or whose terms were entered by hand. Its terms are never read or applied, and it leaves the checklist. Refused while its terms are being read.

## Fields

| Field | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `contractorId` | string (ID) | Yes | The ID of a contractor, from contractors.list. |
| `envelopeId` | string (ID) | Yes | The ID of a document sent for signature, from signing.envelopes.list. |
| `idempotencyKey` | string | Yes | Any unique text you generate once per intended change, so a retried request only happens once. Send it as the Idempotency-Key header instead if you prefer; if you send both they must match. 8–200 characters. |
