Envelope Ordering: A Step-by-Step Guide to Streamline Document Workflows with Wesign

Managing a document signing process involving multiple steps can be tedious and error-prone without the right tools. Wesign’s Envelope Ordering feature offers a seamless solution by allowing documents to be signed in a structured sequence. With this feature, follow-up documents become visible only after the initial document is signed and completed.

Here’s a detailed look at how Envelope Ordering works and a practical guide to using it effectively.

What is Envelope Ordering?

Envelope Ordering ensures that documents are signed in a strict order, with subsequent documents remaining hidden until prior ones are completed. This feature is invaluable for sensitive agreements or multi-layered processes where maintaining sequence and clarity is critical.

Key benefits include:

  • Enforcing signing discipline.

  • Ensuring confidentiality by restricting document visibility.

  • Streamlining workflows to reduce errors and delays.

How Does Envelope Ordering Work?

  1. Send the Initial Document :-
  2. The first step in the process involves setting up and sending the initial document to the signer.

    Steps:

    • Upload the document.

    • Add recipient details (email, name, etc.).

    • Assign signature fields for the recipient to complete.

    • Send the document to the recipient for signing.

  4. Here users have the flexibility to send follow-up documents even before the initial document is signed.

    Wesign provides two ways to set up follow-up documents:

    i) From Add Documents Section:

    • Click on the Start Now button in Wesign’s dashboard.

    • Select Follow-Up Envelope and choose the Initial Document.

    • Upload the new document to be sent as the follow-up.

    • Click Next and add recipient details (these will auto-populate if unchanged).

    • Assign the signature fields and send the follow-up document.

  5. Signing the Documents in Order :-
  6. Once the follow-up document is sent, recipients are guided through the process in sequence.

    Steps:

    • The signer receives an email for the initial document.

    • After signing the initial document and clicking Finish, a pop-up notification prompts them to sign the follow-up document.

    • The process continues until all documents in the sequence are completed.
