Workflow

Step 1: Accept the Document

Accept the document in any format:

• File upload: PDF, DOCX

• Reference: "The Acme Corp MSA we finalized yesterday"

Step 2: Pre-Signature Checklist

Before routing for signature, verify:

Pre-Signature Checklist

• All exhibits and schedules are attached
• Correct legal entity names on signature blocks
• Dates are correct or left blank for execution date
• Signature blocks match the authorized signers

• Document has been reviewed by appropriate counsel

Step 3: Configure Signing

Gather signing details:

• Signers: Who needs to sign? (names, emails, titles)

• Signing order: Sequential or parallel?

• Internal approval: Does anyone need to approve before the counterparty signs?

• CC recipients: Who should receive a copy of the executed document?

Step 4: Route for Signature
