Approvers on Legalesign

An Approver on Legalesign is a Party included in a document's distribution whose acceptance does not require a signature. For instance, entering a date of execution to bring a deed into effect.

To add an Approver as a Party, follow the steps for adding multiple parties on the xEdit page. Assign them any field other than a signature.

Include fields for Approvers while using text tags by ensuring that Party has no signature fields.

After receiving the document, the Approver will be able to Approve or Reject a document using the dialogue box to the side of the document. If rejected, the Approver has the option to provide a reason for the rejection (see below).

Changing the role of a Party to an Approver on the Send page effectively ignores any signature fields for that Party.
