How to Documents for Basic Sending Steps
The basic steps for creating and sending a document for signature are as follows:
- Start an envelope. You can start with a new envelope, use a template stored in DocuSign eSignature, or finish a previously saved draft.
- Add your documents. DocuSign eSignature supports a broad variety of file formats. Select files from your local machine or from cloud storage providers like Google Drive or Dropbox.
- Add recipients. Specify who receives your envelope and what action you want them to take.
- Add messages. Enter the email subject and message details for your recipients.
- Advanced Options. Set special recipient privileges, reminder settings, and expiration options.
- Add fields. For each recipient, add fields to your documents to gather the desired electronic signatures and other information, such as title, date signed, and more.
- Preview and send. Review your field setup and send the envelope to your recipients.
If you include yourself as a signer, after you send the envelope, you can start the signing process from within your account. See Sign a Document From Your Account for details.
