# documents.content.get

Read a document's text to review or edit it: an agreement template written in the agreement writer (documentType agreement_template) or a contractor agreement template written in Oatmilk (contractor_template). Returns the title, revision, status (draft, published, archived, starter), the Markdown text in pages of up to 20,000 characters (offset and nextOffset), its headings, and for agreements the letterhead setting, merge fields, signers, footer, logo and the library images it places. Agreement Markdown uses {{field.key}} merge fields, a {{signatures}} line for the signature section and a \pagebreak line for a page break.
