How does self-signing work in multi-signer document workflows?

When working with digital document signing platforms, understanding how self-signing operates—especially in multi-signer workflows—is essential to ensuring a smooth process. Based on recent usage patterns and support logs, we’ve outlined key information about how self-signing functions within the web app.

The platform allows for self-signing, but the process varies slightly depending on how many signers are involved:

Single signer (Only You)

If you are the only signer on the document:

• You can complete the self-signing process immediately during the document creation workflow.
• This means no additional steps are needed once the document is prepared—you can sign and finalize in one go.

Multiple signers (Including You)

If the document requires signatures from multiple individuals, including yourself:

• You cannot sign the document during creation.
• Instead, you must first send the document to all parties.
• Once the document is sent, you (just like the other recipients) will receive a signing link via email or in-app notification.
• You can then click the link and complete your part of the signing process.
• This ensures that all signatures are collected in the correct sequence and that the document’s audit trail is properly maintained.

Plan requirements

Another important note:

• Self-signing is available on all plans, including the free plan.
• There’s no need to upgrade to a paid plan just to access this feature.
• This makes it easy and accessible for individuals, small teams, or occasional users to benefit from digital signatures without incurring extra costs.
