What do you like best?
I utilize the feature for certificates of insurance. It’s very nice to have the mobile app to be able to use that when I’m on the go .
What do you dislike?
The way it saves documents or re-saves them or use as a template is very confusing . And not all of the options on the desktop version are also available on the mobile version .
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Set the Signing Order Feature

The Set the Signing Order feature simplifies and organizes the signing process for documents. With this tool, you can control who signs first, second, and so on. This control brings clarity to the signing workflow and enhances the management of multiple signers.

Key Features

Define the order of signers for each document

Notify signers when it's their turn to sign

Track the status of each signer in real-time

Customize the signing sequence based on specific requirements

Potential Use Cases

Corporate agreements requiring multiple executive approvals

Real estate transactions involving several parties

Legal documents needing sequential signatures for compliance

Sales contracts requiring approval from multiple departments

This feature addresses the common problem of confusion in document signing. By clearly setting the order, you ensure that all parties know when to sign, reducing delays and misunderstandings. As a result, you streamline workflows and increase efficiency.

How to Use the Signing Order Feature

Signing order is a feature that establishes an order in which all the related parties should sign the document. For example, if this is a purchase order for the HR Department that requires three signatures of HR, Procurement, and Accounting, the feature sets a special order and instructs the Accounting Department to sign the document only after the Procurement.

Note: If you turn out to be the first one to sign the document, and you invite yourself to sign the document, there will be no email notification. Notifications are available only for SignStep2 and SignStep3 assignees.

With a blue icon, you can assign several responsible people to the fields SignStep1, SignStep2 and SignStep3.

As soon as you complete all the fields and add all the signers, the document is ready for sharing and signing.
