Narrative:

When getting controller pilot datalink communication (cpdlc) clearance out of [departure airport] did not know we had a revised clearance. Because I did not see this is a revised clearance in message. I did not know that [there] was a change to load a new route. Sorry. So I told the captain we were cleared as filed. I accepted the clearance no message of a route change; just accepted a bad route. Also you cannot see what your route has changed to.
