Workflow

Step 1: Accept the Document

Accept the document in any format:

• File upload: PDF, DOCX
• URL: Link to a document in ~~cloud storage or ~~CLM
• Reference: "The Acme Corp MSA we finalized yesterday"

Step 2: Pre-Signature Checklist

Before routing for signature, verify:

## Pre-Signature Checklist

- [ ] Document is in final, agreed form (no open redlines)

- [ ] Dates are correct or left blank for execution date
- [ ] Signature blocks match the authorized signers
- [ ] Any required internal approvals have been obtained
- [ ] 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

If ~~e-signature is connected:

• Create the signature envelope/request
• Set signing fields and order
• Add any required initials or date fields

Tips

1. Check entity names carefully — The most common signing error is incorrect legal entity names.
2. Verify authority — Make sure each signer is authorized to bind their organization.
3. Keep a copy — Executed copies should be filed in ~~cloud storage or ~~CLM immediately after execution.
