Share an agreement with another user The sender of a document can share an agreement with any other individual. This functionality is useful for managers, or people who must see transactions that have been sent out.
Viewing the agreement audit trail Once a transaction is sent, you can see who performed what action and when in the agreement history. This information is updated as each new event occurs and provides details on each event.
Replace a signer on a transaction If you've sent an agreement to someone who is unavailable to sign, or if you've sent it to the wrong email address, you can get the document to the right person by replacing the signer.
Add a note to a transaction Once the transaction is sent, you can add a note that only you can see. This note is only visible to the user who entered it, and only on the Notes tab.
