eSignature Process

Editing and Discarding an Envelope Prior to Submission

The revisions that can be made include editing the message sent during the electronic signing process, changing the signatories and recipients, updating the document submitted for electronic signature, and performing advanced options, such as sending a private message to a signatory or recipient. The envelope can also be discarded if too many changes need to be made, allowing a new envelope to be created.

When the Document Package Wizard or the eSignature Package Wizard is run from a Contract Profile, a document package is created in the Profile, allowing one or more of the documents stored in the Profile to be used in the electronic signing ceremony. However, only the eSignature Package Wizard creates an "envelope," which is an email message that contains the contract that is to be signed electronically, and is routed to signatories and other recipients in a pre-defined order. Prior to submitting the envelope for eSignature, several types of changes can be made to the envelope in DocuSign.

Currently, Conga Contracts does not support editing an envelope in Adobe Sign.

You can easily edit the subject line of the email message (envelope), as well as the default message sent to signatories and those copied on the electronic signing process.

  3. Locate the envelope whose message you want to edit, and click its envelope icon.
  4. In the eSignature Portal, click OTHER ACTIONS, and select Edit Message.
  5. In the Message to All Recipients window, edit the text message by clicking in the field and typing over the existing text. To edit the subject line for the message, click in the field and type over the existing text.
