# Create an ad-hoc clause

Ad-hoc clauses are stored in a specific document as opposed to your organisation’s clause library. To create an ad-hoc clause, you therefore first need to open a document to create it in.&#x20;

With your document open, first click the clause you want the ad-hoc clause to appear under. If you do not select a clause, it will automatically appear as the last clause in the document.&#x20;

Click <img src="/files/YyrBntCHcbbsjrN0V1rI" alt="" data-size="line"> at the top left-hand of your screen and select *New ad-hoc clause*. Fill out the content body of the clause and optionally give the clause a file name before pressing <img src="/files/S9Nj0MW7Tr8kMBmJdr5Y" alt="" data-size="line"> to save your clause.
