A Collaborative Field Editing audit trail is a comprehensive record that captures all interactions involving editable fields within a document during the signing process. It enhances transparency and accountability by logging who made changes, when they were made, and how those changes influenced the document workflow. This is especially valuable in scenarios where multiple signers contribute data or update shared fields before finalizing the document.
The audit trail becomes available for download once all signers have completed their actions, offering a reliable and verifiable record of collaborative edits.
The audit trail includes the following information:
- Document Information: Includes document ID, name, type, status, title, signing order, page count, and timestamps for when the document was sent and completed.
- Sender and Recipient Information: Captures the names, email addresses, IP addresses, and devices used by all participants involved in the collaborative editing process.
- Collaborative Field Activity: Logs all interactions with collaborative fields, including:
- Who updated the field.
- The exact timestamp of the update.
- The IP address and device used.
- Whether the update triggered a resend for approval.
- If approval is requested, the audit trail also includes:
- The timestamp of the approval.
- The identity of the approver.
- Signature Information: Specifies the type of signature applied by each signer (e.g., typed, drawn, uploaded) and their consent to electronic disclosures.
- Timestamps: Provides precise logs of all actions, including sending, viewing, signing, collaborative field updates, and document completion.
- User Activity Log: Tracks each user’s actions, such as viewing the document, updating fields, signing, and resending for approval. This ensures full visibility into the collaborative process.
