What is a signing order?

A signing order is a workflow feature that lets users set a specific sequence for recipients to receive and sign a document. Users can select recipients and pre-determine the order in which they receive the document. This ensures your contracts, proposals, or agreements are reviewed and approved in the correct order, helping you manage approvals and avoid delays in the e-signing process.



With the PandaDoc signing order feature, you can assign user roles, set up email notifications, and automate the process so that your documents are automatically sent out in the right order.

Why businesses choose PandaDoc for
e-signing

Take control of your entire e-signing process

Ensure that every document is signed in the right order

With a pre-set signing order, documents always follow a clear path. Users will only receive an invitation to review the document after users ahead in the signing order have already signed. That way, no one signs early, and no one gets skipped.

Workflow Settings

Provide a personalized experience for every signer

With PandaDoc, recipients only see what’s relevant to them when they open a document. Signing fields, messaging, and timing are all tailored to keep things clear, streamlined, and professional while reducing confusion or unnecessary distractions.

Tailored Documents

Minimize delays caused signing contracts out of order

When key stakeholders get skipped during e-signing, it’s often necessary to start the entire process over again. PandaDoc keeps everything moving in the correct sequence so that signatures happen faster and no recipient is overlooked.

Activity

Stay in control without micromanaging project stakeholders

Trying to manage stakeholders during e-signing usually results in more emails, notifications, and even friction. With PandaDoc, teams can set the signing order once and let the process take care of itself without constant follow-ups or manual check-ins.

Signing Order Setup

Store signed documents automatically in PandaDoc

Once the final stakeholder signs, documents are time-stamped, emailed to all recipients, and stored in a secure location in the PandaDoc workspace. As required, each document can be downloaded, exported, or shared across teams and stakeholders.
