What is the signing order of my contract?
The signing order specifies in what order signees sign a contract. You can choose from three types of signing orders:
- Everyone signs at the same time
- Sign in groups (available only with 3 or more signees)
- Sign in specific order
Specific signing order
By default, the signing order is set to Sign in specific order. This means recipients receive the contract one at a time, and each must sign before the next signee in the sequence is notified.
To change the signing order, click the badge in the signing order column (or the plus icon if no order has been selected). This will open a modal where you can choose another signing method and confirm your changes.
Why has one of the Recipients received the link to the contract while the rest have not?
If multiple recipients are added to the contract, they will receive it one at a time. That means that a first signee must sign a contract in order to enable the second signee etc.
No signing order
If the contract doesn't have to be signed in a specific order, choose Everyone signs at the same time. This way, the contract is sent to all signees at the same time, and it can be signed simultaneously.
Group Signing order
The Sign in groups option is available only for contracts with three or more signees. This method allows you to create as many signing groups as needed. Once applied, the first group of signees receives the contract. The next group only receives it once all members of the previous group have signed.
Please note that the signing order can be set both from the sidebar in the creation step and the Review Page.
