Signing Order

The signing order feature helps you set up your document distribution list so that your document gets sent to one person at a time. The document will only be sent to the next person on the list once the previous signature (or any other field) is completed.

The best practice is to set up a signing order on your template (both editable and uploaded) so that all subsequent documents inherit this setting.

How to use the signing order

Warning: There's no way to change signing order once the document is sent. 

Open your template and click Manage on top of the page to access the list of Roles (in a document, click on Manage to open the Recipients list). Switch on the toggle for Set signing order.

Now click and drag the Roles (or Recipients) by the number in the order you want them to receive the document.

Note: In case the document was shared via a link, the email notification will be sent to the next signer after the previous recipient completed their part.

Tips for placing CC roles/recipients

1. Place a CC role before a signer role, and both of them will receive the notification email along with the document at the same time.

2. Place a CC role after a signer role, and the CC will get notification email along with the document only after the signer completes it.
