Sending documents

Everything about an envelope once you have a document to send. An envelope is one request for signatures: a document, the people who sign it, and their fields.

  • Add signersAdd each signer with their name and email address. Sovrasign chooses how each one confirms who they are. Your plan sets how many recipients an envelope can have.
  • Signing order: any order, or one after anotherLet everyone sign in any order, or have them sign one after another in the order you list them.
  • Place fields for your signersChoose a signer under Add fields for, then drag a field onto the page or click it and click the page. Every signer needs a signature field.
  • Remind a signer or send the invitation againFollow each invitation on the envelope's page and select Remind. Discover and Pro remind signers by themselves.
  • When a request expiresEach request expires 30 days after it is sent. Signers are warned 3 days before. After it expires, send the document again as a new envelope; changing the expiry and extending an expired request (Discover and Pro) are not offered in the app yet.
  • Void (cancel) an envelopeStop an envelope nobody should sign any more. Signing links stop at once, and the signers are told, with your reason.
  • Correct an envelope or fix an addressReplace a sent envelope with a corrected version on Discover and Pro, or fix a wrong address before anyone signs.
  • Download the signed documentWhen the last signer signs, everyone gets the signed PDF and the certificate of completion by email, with a download link. You can download them from the envelope's page at any time.
  • The certificate of completionA readable summary of who signed, when and how, made when an envelope completes and sent with the signed PDF.
  • Templates, drafts and the email messageDrafts save themselves as you work; a template keeps a document with its roles, fields and message for next time; the invitation email can carry your subject, message and private notes.
