Workflow
Step 1: Accept the Document
Accept the document in any format:

- [ ] 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
