Creating an Envelope

The envelope editor is a 3-step wizard:

  1. General Settings -- title, tags, workflow mode (sequential or parallel), email notification preference, and signer verification method
  2. Invite Signers -- add recipients with role, signature method, and order
  3. Field Placement -- drag-and-drop fields onto PDF pages, assign them to recipients

Email Notification Preference

In the General Settings step you can choose when recipients receive email notifications:

  • All Emails (default) -- emails are sent at every step: signing requests, next-signer alerts, reminders, and completion
  • Completion Only -- recipients only receive an email when the envelope is fully completed by all signers
  • No Emails -- no email notifications are sent to recipients at any point

This setting applies to the entire envelope. Signers can still access the signing link if you share it with them directly.

Envelope Views

The Envelopes page lets you filter by tab:

  • All -- every envelope
  • Sent -- envelopes you created and sent
  • Received -- envelopes sent to you for signing

You can also search by title and filter by status.

Viewing an Envelope

Click any envelope to view its details, including:

  • Current status and signing progress
  • Recipient list with individual statuses
  • Envelope activity log with timestamps and IP addresses

Downloading

Once an envelope is completed, you can download the signed PDF with all signatures embedded and a digital certificate.

Activity Log

Every envelope maintains a full audit trail:

  • Envelope created, sent, viewed, signed events
  • Timestamps and IP addresses for each action
  • Exportable as a PDF report
