SignNow: Retrieving Document History

Retrieving Document History

If you ever need to legally enforce your document (or if you’re just interested in seeing the history of a document), you can quickly and easily check all document changes and signing events by downloading a full audit trail for each of your documents. A document’s history includes timestamps and IP addresses associated with any actions taken on your document.

There are two ways to locate a document's history; however, both will achieve the same result:

Option 1

1. Locate the document in the Documents list and click on the 3 ellipses to the right of the document name  and select History.
   
2. The History of [document name] window is displayed.
3. Select Download Document with History button to get a download of this report saved to your computer.
   
4. This window is displayed while the report is downloading:
   
5. The file is saved with the name of the document followed by .pdf in your Downloads folder.

Option 2

1. Open the actual document, click the Settings icon.
   
2. Select Download Document with History button to get a download of this report saved to your computer.
3. This window is displayed while the report is downloading:
   
4. The file is saved with the name of the document followed by .pdf in your Downloads folder.
   

Note: The file will contain a copy of the signed document, if signature(s) have been received, and a history page detailing the full audit trail of the document.
