Newer Innovations
One size document aren’t fits for all. With variable signers, a sender would have to have different versions of their templates for the different number of signers. Before variable signers, a template can automatically adjust to the number of signers. This take place directly in the HelloSign signature request without having to create new templates.
HelloSign provides a signer reassignment feature that allows recipients to delegate signing to someone else. The original signer can enter a name and email and then “reassign” a signature request. In other words, the original signer can transfer signing request to someone else.
HelloSign’s Decline to Sign feature, allow signer to reject the signature request to end the signing process. The sender knows why the document was declined because the signer is asked to provide a mandatory reason.
