Templates: Templates help streamline the sending process when you frequently send the same or similar documents, or send documents to the same group of people.

So what are some ways to use templates?

  • Same document, different recipients: You have a disclosure form that you send to every potential client.

  • Same recipients, different document: Every month, you send a report to your Board of Directors for their approval.

Powerforms: A PowerForm is a template that allows you to create self-service documents for signature without writing any code. A PowerForm is initiated from a unique, secure URL that you make available for signers to complete.
