Finalize in DocuSign is a feature that allows you to open the envelope inside the DocuSign console. This allows you to use a wider range of functionality provided by DocuSign. One of these features is access to standard DocuSign tags, which can be dragged and dropped onto the document. If this button is not visible, contact your system admin to enable this button in DocuSign System Properties. 

If you have not specified an email subject and body for a recipient in DocuSign Recipient, then the email subject and body defined at the envelope level, on the Additional Details screen, will be displayed on Finalize in DocuSign page. For detailed information on which email subject and email body are displayed on the Finalize in DocuSign page, refer to the Use Case given below.
