How to send a document with multiple recipients including yourself?
BoldSign makes it easy to send a single document to multiple recipients for signature, including yourself. This is particularly helpful when several people, including the sender, need to sign the same document.
Follow the steps below to add multiple recipients for a signature request:
- Click on
Create New
, go toCreate New Document
, and you will be directed to the Prepare Document for Signing page. - Upload your files in the Add files section and enter the recipients’ details.
- Next, add your information in the Add Recipients section. You can either enter your details manually or simply click the
Add Me
button.
- To add multiple recipients, click the
Add Recipient
button, then enter each person’s name and email address in the appropriate fields.
- Then click
Next
to go to the Configure Fields page. - On the left side of the Configure Fields page, you’ll see a dropdown for recipients and a list of available form fields.
- Choose a recipient from the dropdown, then drag and drop the required form field onto the document.
- When you drag and drop a form field onto the document, the Field Settings page will appear on the right, allowing you to customize the field according to your needs and preferences.
- You can also select other recipients and add form fields for them in the same way.
- Then click the
Send
button to send the document for signature.
- Once you click
send
a dialogue box will appear asking whether you would like to sign now or sign later.
- Select your preferred response to proceed.
You can add yourself as a recipient in the document workflow; however, self-signing is not available during the document creation process. The document must be sent first. Once sent, you will receive a signing link just like any other recipient, and you can complete your signing from there.
