How to Send Documents for Signature


Getting Started

Enterprise customers can choose to begin with a template or upload a file to start from scratch.

  1. Click Signatures or Signatures+ in the main menu
  2. Choose a Template or Upload a file


Step 1: Document & Recipients

Choose your document and recipients.

Required Fields:

  • 1 or more documents
    • PDF is highly recommended. Other file types may lose formatting
  • 1 or more recipients
    • Include yourself if you also need to sign
    • Enable signing order if someone (like you) needs to sign before others
    • Use Reviewers to allow someone to approve (via an "Approve" button) without adding a signature—ideal for internal checks
    • Use CC (optional, located below recipients)
      • Do not remove "import@pivott.io" from CC

Important: If signers are required to upload additional documents during the signing process, do not use the "In-person signer" option.


Step 2: Prepare Document

Customize or confirm how the document will be filled out and signed.

For each signer:

  1. Select the signer
  2. Add fields for that signer
  3. Mark fields as required if needed
  4. Optionally, insert default text

When you're done, click Send
