SignNow: Setting Up Document Groups

Document Groups

Document Groups are flexible. You can invite one signer to sign several documents or send certain documents in the group to different signers. Document Groups allow you to work with multiple documents in one invitation. With Document Groups your signer will see a checklist of documents they need to complete. You can invite separate signers to complete documents in the group.

   Notes: Signers grouped in a specific Signing Step will not receive the document packet until all Signers in the prior group have finished signing. In the example shown, the signers in Step 1 must complete all necessary documents before the signers in Step 2 will receive their notification, etc. All signers can also be placed in the same grouping and they will all receive the same packet.
