Set signing order in drafts
While drafting your contracts, you can set the signing order for the parties you have added directly from the Parties and signees sidebar. This is an alternative which allows you to set this up before using the contract Review page.
Access the parties and signees sidebar
Once you have added all your relevant parties and signees to the sidebar, you can define their exact signing sequence, by following these steps:
Click the Parties and signees tab located in the right-hand sidebar.
By default, all signees will have to sign the new contract at the same time.
Choose your specific signing order
Select your preferred sequence from the dropdown menu.
Click the Save button to confirm your configuration.
Types of signing orders
You can choose between three types of signing orders:
Sign in a specific order
This means your signees will receive the contract one at a time, and each of them must sign before the next signee in the sequence can receive their signature request.
Everyone signs at the same time
The contract is sent to all signees at the same time, and it can be signed simultaneously.
Sign in groups
This signing order is useful for multi-party contract signing. It is available for all contracts with three or more signees.
Select Sign in groups from the dropdown menu.
Drag and drop the signees into Group 1, Group 2, and so forth.
Click the blue Save button to complete.
The contract will be first sent to the first group of signees. Once every signee from that group has signed, the contract automatically gets sent for signatures to the signees in the next group.
