Frequently asked questions

What is a signing order?

A signing order is the sequence of people that are expected to sign a document. PandaDoc’s signing order feature helps you set up a document distribution list so your document gets sent to one person at a time.

How do I edit a signing order in a document?

Click and drag users one-by-one in the order you want them to receive a document. Make these changes before you send out a document, as you can’t modify the order afterward.

Can I add multiple signature fields?

Yes, you can. Drag and drop several signature fields from the toolbar. Assign each field to particular recipients by clicking the Add Recipient button.

How do I send a document for signing?

After you complete the signing order, click on Send at the top. You have two options here. The first one is to send your document via email. In that case, your recipient will get an email from PandaDoc which will include access to the document. You can add a personalized message too. The second option is to share the document link. For example, you can drop in a link via messenger.

Do signers need a PandaDoc account to sign my documents?

No, they don’t. When opening a document, they should click Start at the top of the screen. It will bring them to the required fields for signing. After all fields are filled in, they should click Finish. The document will be sent to the next person in the order. If there is no one left, the document will be completed.

How do I turn off the signing order?

You can turn off the signing order before you send out a document. Just switch off the toggle and your document will be sent out to all your recipients at once.
