What is a DocuSign Envelope?
A DocuSign Envelope is a secure digital file containing one or more documents being sent for signature. Documents can be placed into a DocuSign envelope by either ‘printing’ them into the envelope using the DocuSign print helper, or by uploading them. A DocuSign envelope can contain any document you can print, and no special formats are needed.
A DocuSign Envelope is a tremendous improvement on a familiar paper metaphor – the overnight express envelope, but it does much more than a traditional envelope can. A DocuSign Envelope is capable of ensuring the proper sequence of signing, makes sure each signer signs, fills out, and initials all the required locations specific to them, and prevents unauthorized users from being able to sign or even see the documents it contains.
