How to share pending, signed and rejected contracts?

This article describes how to share your contracts with others. It contains the following topics:

You allow your collaborators either Full access or View document permissions level across contracts
View document - Enables only view permissions in the document
Full access - Includes permissions to share and fully manage the document

Open the contract you want to share and click on the Share button at the top of the navigation bar
Search by name or email address to share with anyone from your company:

Type in the email address of the external for your company collaborators and invite them to the shared contract:

Then choose their permission (View or Full access)
Add a customized message which will be part of the email notification to the recipient:

You can share with a single collaborator or click on Add collaborator to share with multiple accounts at once:

The accounts listed in your contracts' sharing module are your colleagues from the same company.
If you have checked with your team owner and still need help finding some of your colleagues when you search for their name or email address in the drop-down list, please reach out to our Support Team, and we will assist you.

If a contract is already shared with others:

You will see the initials of all accounts the contract is shared with both in the documents overview and at the top navigation bar of the contract.
When you click on the initials or the Share button from the top navigation bar, you will see all accounts and their type of shared access at the bottom of the window.
If you try to share the contract with any of the accounts with existing shared access, you will not be allowed - they will be labeled as "Shared":

If you have shared a contract with others and decide to amend their level of access, you can do that by:

Clicking on the Share button at the navigation bar or on the initials of the accounts with shared access
Selecting a different level of permission for the listed accounts with granted access
Closing the Share module:

Edit a pending contract and resend it (this option will not work if the signee suggests changes)
Reshare the contract with any additional collaborator (Add collaborators)
Remove existing collaborators entirely
Change the type of permissions for the collaborators who have already been granted access rights
Remove the contract from their documents' overview
Move the contract to a private folder
Add it to a shared folder
Add a new task
Download the contract as a .pdf
Delete a Pending contract that has not been signed by all signees yet

You will not be allowed to share access to a Pending contract with any of the signees you have added as the contract’s recipients
If you try to share a contract with anyone who has already been added to the document, their name will appear with a shared label, and you will not be able to select them from the drop-down list:

Anyone else who is not a signee or deactivated user and does not have access to the contract yet can be added as a new collaborator.

The steps when sharing a fully Signed contract are identical to sharing a Pending contract.
Any collaborator who is not a signee or deactivated user and does not have access to the contract yet can be added as a new collaborator to a signed contract.
You will still have the option to allow your collaborators either View or Full access rights.

Reshare the contract with any additional collaborator (Add collaborators )
Remove existing collaborators entirely
Remove the contract from their documents' overview
Change the type of permissions for the collaborators who have already been granted access rights
Move the contract to a private folder
Add it to a shared folder
Add a new task
Download the contract as a .pdf

If a signee rejects a contract and you need to share it with external collaborators, you can easily do that by following the same steps as above.

Open the Rejected contract and click on the Share button at the top navigation bar
Then select the type of permission (View or Full access)
Type in a message to be included in the email notification sent to your collaborators
Press Share to confirm and share with all listed collaborators:

If you have Full access permissions in the rejected contract, you can delete it entirely.

Archivation: Requires all signees to accept to archive it and the owner.
Full deletion: Creator or collaborator with full access, plus all signees' approval.
