Multi-signer agreements
A document can involve one signer or several participants with different responsibilities.
Roles
Signer
Must sign before completion.
Approver
Reviews or approves as a workflow step.
Witness / guardian
Use explicit roles where the relationship matters to the agreement.
CC
Receives the completed document without becoming a required signer.
Routing
Use sequential routing when one participant should not receive the document until the prior stage is complete. Use parallel routing when several required participants can act independently.
customer signs → manager approves → company countersigns → document completesKeep participant identity, role and state attached to the same document. Do not manufacture a multi-party contract by stitching together independent signed files after the fact.
