In view mode, click the Contract Signatures logo at the top of your document.
Clicking the logo will open a window to enable you to start the signing process and generate an audit trail in Confluence. Click “Create”.
Enter the names and email addresses of the signees. You can also preview the unsigned document in PDF or HTML format. Then click “Send”.
Now, when you click on the Contract Signatures icon, you will see that your contract has been sent.
The signee will receive an email that looks like this. It will contain a link to a read-only version of the contract, which they can sign.
The signee will then click on the Signature field. The contract’s status will be marked as “In progress” until all parties have signed.
The following box will open up. Here you can:
draw your signature (with your mouse or touchscreen)
upload a ready-made signature from your computer
render your signature (type your desired text and choose a font for it)
Once you’re happy with your signature, click “Sign”.
For security, a 6-digit code will be sent to the signee’s email. Once received, the signee will enter it at the top to confirm their signing of the contract.
Now the document shows as “Signed” and both you and the signee will receive an email confirming this.
This confirmation email will include 3 attachments:
A HTML copy of the signed contract
A PDF copy of the signed contract
An audit certificate confirming the following:
time and date of the contract’s completion
the details of the parties involved, namely who created it and who signed it
parties' email addresses
parties' device IPs
signature timestamps
It will also include a link to verify that the document is original and has not been tampered with.
