Actions on envelopes
Remind
Sends a reminder email to the next signer to perform his signing activity.
Note that sending reminders is limitted by an instance-wide rate limit configuration. By default, sending a reminder is allowed only once every 12h per envelope and recipient, to reduce the risk of getting classified as spam sender.
Restart
Only expired envelopes can be restarted.
When restarting an expired envelope, the formerly given signatures of finished worksteps remain, and the signature workflow is being continued with the next pending activity.
Cancel
Blocks an envelope from further signing activities, but the envelope remains available on eSignAnyWhere platform.
Delete
Deletes an envelope entirely from the eSignAnyWhere platform. We strongly recommend, in case of formerly signed documents, to store the signed document and the audit trail which is the legal evidence, in a DMS before deleting an envelope from the platform - but keep in mind that envelopes may also be deleted automatically when the document retention period configured for the organization is expired for an envelope.
Sign
This action is shown only in cases where the current user is the next signer of an envelope. It directly opens the signer's view and asks, depending on the configuration, for authentication, consent to terms&conditions, shows the document to be signed, and allows form filling, and placing the signature.
Actions on drafts
Continue
As user who created a draft (or another person who gets access to the draft via team sharing), this action allows to continue editing the draft or finally sending the envelope based on this draft
Envelopes in same status since certain period
