Sending Documents
Once your document is ready with files uploaded, signing fields placed, and signatories invited, you can send it for signature.
Prerequisites
Before sending, make sure:
- At least one file has been uploaded.
- Signing fields have been placed on the document pages.
- At least one signatory has been invited.
Sending a document
- Open the document.
- Click Send.
- Select which invitations to send (you may choose to send to all or specific signatories).
- Confirm and send.
Each selected signatory receives an email containing:
- The document name and description.
- Your company name and logo.
- A secure link to view and sign the document.
The document status changes from Draft (or Approved) to Sent.
Sequential signing
If you've set a signing order, the send process works differently:
- Only the first signatory in the sequence receives the signing email.
- After they sign, the system automatically sends the document to the next signatory.
- This continues until all signatories have signed.
info
Sequential signing ensures that each signatory sees the document with all previous signatures already in place.
What happens after sending
Once sent:
- The document is locked — you can no longer edit files or signing fields.
- You can track progress to see who has viewed and signed.
- Signatories can sign from any device with a web browser.
- If all signatories sign, the document moves to Completed status automatically.
Cancelling a sent document
If you need to cancel a document after sending:
- Click Actions > Void.
- Provide a reason.
- All signatories are notified that the document has been voided.
To start over, clone the voided document to create a fresh copy.
