Audit Trail
Provides a complete, immutable record of delivery, access, and actions tied to the original document, including timestamps and IP addresses to support evidentiary needs during disputes or audits.
A print digi sign request reduces friction for recipients who need or prefer a paper signature while keeping the document lifecycle digital, which simplifies tracking, storage, and compliance.
Manages high-volume agreements requiring flexible signing workflows. Uses a print digi sign request when counterparties insist on wet signatures, ensuring the signed image is associated with the original digital file and audit metadata is preserved for compliance and recordkeeping.
Handles onboarding packets and sensitive personnel forms. Uses hybrid signing to accommodate new hires without reliable digital access, maintaining signed documents in secure storage with a corresponding electronic audit trail for future reference.
Organizations and roles that deal with mixed digital and paper signing often include legal, HR, real estate, and healthcare teams who need flexible signing options.
These stakeholders require both the convenience of digital delivery and the ability to accept paper-signed originals while preserving compliance records.
Provides a complete, immutable record of delivery, access, and actions tied to the original document, including timestamps and IP addresses to support evidentiary needs during disputes or audits.
Allows senders to offer multiple signing methods—digital signature, print-and-scan return, or in-person signing—so recipients can choose the method that meets their access or legal requirements.
Role-based permissions and granular sharing settings let administrators restrict who can view, download, or upload scanned signed documents, reducing the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive records.
Template locking ensures required fields and signature locations remain unchanged, reducing version drift when a document is printed and later returned as a scan.
Bulk Send capability distributes identical requests to many recipients while tracking each returned signed scan individually, improving efficiency for high-volume use cases like waivers or acknowledgements.
Centralized encrypted storage retains both the original electronic document and any scanned signed versions, enabling retention policies and ensuring consistent backup and discovery processes.
Automatic synchronization with cloud drives ensures scanned signed documents are stored alongside the original electronic envelope, preserving file organization and simplifying retrieval during audits or follow-up workflows.
Connecting with CRM systems associates scanned signed copies to the correct contact or opportunity record so sales and account teams maintain a single source of truth for contract status.
Template controls reduce versioning errors by locking fields and standardizing where physical signatures may be required, enabling consistent handling of documents that may return as scanned attachments.
Annotation and redaction tools let administrators prepare areas intended for wet signatures and then annotate returned scans to record notarization stamps or witness entries without altering the original electronic file.

Resulting in a single digital file that includes the scanned signature and a full timestamped audit trail for compliance.
