FAQ for the sender regarding Decline to sign feature

What is this new feature?

When a signer receives a document to sign, RightSignature provides the signer the option to decline to sign.

If I send to multiple signers, what happens when a single signer declines to sign?

The signing process stops as soon as one of the signers decline the document. A notification email is sent to all of the participants.

What happens if I send to multiple signers with a set order for signatures and one signer declines?

The signing process stops with the signer who declines the document. The signers in order after the decline will not be notifed.

What happens if I change my mind after I select Decline Document?

Unfortunately, there is no way to cancel the decline process once you select Decline Document. The sender will have to start the process over again.
