Signing a document

When a document is marked as "Ready to sign," the document is set to the In Progress stage.

In the In Progress stage, you (and the signers) can preview and sign the document, but signers can't be added or removed.

Note

For more information on what can and can not be done with a document in the various stages, refer to Signature Stages.

Signatures are collected in the signer order established in Add Signers. You can view the status of signature collection by viewing the document details

These instructions cover capturing a signature in person. Remote signers are sent a link to sign the document remotely; their experience is similar to the following instructions (absent the steps for navigating to the document).

  1. Navigate to Document Manager.

    Note

    If you see Action required on the screen instead of All signatures complete, this signer has additional signature fields to fill. Repeat Step 7 through Step 9 until you see All signatures complete.

    Tip

    If the signer next in the signing order is using the In Person signing method, the Complete and continue button appears. This button can be used to repeat this procedure to collect the next signature.

If there are additional signers on the document, the document is now ready to collect the signature from the signer next in line.

If the signer next in line is using the In Person signing method, you can repeat this procedure to collect that signature.

If the signer next in line is using a remote signing method (such as email), that signer will now receive a message with instructions on how to sign the document.

When all signatures are collected, the document's status changes to Completed.
