Here are a few insights on how to use signNow to optimize your processes and let you focus on strategic initiatives, not paperwork.

When there’s two or more parties involved in a signing process, signNow allows you to easily set a signing order and collect signatures in the order you’ve specified. To do so, select each recipient and then simply add all the fields needed, like signature, text, and date. Next, you can change the name of the group… Then, just slide up or down to set the order. Click “customize message” to update the “invite email message”... and then if you prefer, click “Apply this invite email to all recipients.” When you’re ready, click “Send invite.”

Let’s see what else you can do with signNow.

There are two types of fields when creating a document in signNow: editable (for document senders) and fillable (for document signers). Each field is assigned to a specific role. You can set each field as required or optional and specify which data types are valid for that field. If you need to sign a document before sending it, add your signature any way you like. Type your full name, draw a signature using your mouse or trackpad, or upload an image of your handwritten signature.

Choose whether you’d like recipients to receive your invite in the order they’re signing the document or at the same time. Сustomize invite emails, protect your document by adding additional authentication methods, set up a document expiration date with automated reminders, allow your recipients to forward the document, or even decline your invite. Select what to do with a signed document, including deciding who needs copies.

Use Document Groups if you need to bundle documents together, send a group of documents to a single signer, or create signing steps for multiple signers across multiple documents. To start collaborating on documents, create a team and invite your colleagues. As the team admin, you can add or delete users, view shared documents and templates, and much more.
