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?
