Starting a Signature Request

- Select Signatures
- Enter the recipient’s email address (required)
- Names alone will not work. You must enter a valid email address for each signer.
- As you type, staff members and any relationships linked to the project may appear as suggestions, but a valid email address is still required for every signer.
- You can add one or more signer email addresses
- If more than one email address is added, each address must be assigned a signature box.
- Users cannot be added to a document for view-only access. All listed email addresses must be signers. If a user does not need to sign, they may download the document after it has been signed.
