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)
- [ ] 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
- [ ] 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
• Send for signature

**If not connected:**

• Generate a signing instruction document
• Provide the document formatted for wet signature or manual e-sign
• List all signers with contact information

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.
