FAQs and troubleshooting
These questions cover signing access, compliance controls, plan limits, and record integrity for digital signature in cn.
If a signer cannot open the request, confirm the email address, and resend from SignNow. Delivery issues usually relate to recipient filtering, not document validity. The audit trail still records the original send attempt and later completion.
If HIPAA documents are involved, use a SignNow plan covered by a BAA and keep access controls enabled. HIPAA workflows also rely on unique user identification, audit controls, and retention of signed records for 6 years under 45 CFR 164.530(j)(2).
If you need stronger signer verification, use SMS OTP or ID verification rather than basic email-only routing. For higher-risk documents, those methods provide more attribution evidence than simple link access and improve the defensibility of the signature record.
If a completed file looks altered, check the audit trail and document hash history. SignNow records events in a tamper-evident history, so any post-signing change may break integrity and become visible during review or export.
If a team cannot see shared templates or send on behalf of others, review admin permissions and delegated access. SignNow supports centralized controls, so the account owner can restrict or grant document-routing rights by role.
If a comparison with DocuSign or Adobe Sign is needed, focus on plan limits and compliance support. SignNow Business starts at $8/user/mo, and paid plans include unlimited users, while higher tiers add bulk send, kiosk mode, and advanced integrations.
