eSign editor

The eSign editor differs from the document editor. The latter has native editing functionalities similar to Google docs or MS Word.

The eSign editor is for completed documents that are ready for approvals and eSignatures and does not allow textual or structural editing of the documents. For all intents and purposes, a document in the eSign editor is treated as a PDF document.

The editor has two main areas of action: the toolbar at the top and the control panel on the right.

eSign editor: Toolbar

The toolbar is simple with straightforward action buttons.

Panel

Used to toggle your view to enable or disable a panel view by page or outline on the left.

View controls

Allows you to set:

Page transition: You can choose whether you want to scroll through the document and view it as if it were one continuous page or whether you want to view the document page by page.

Page layout: Choose between Single Page, Double Page, and Cover Facing Page. Each option will change the way the document is arranged for you.

Magnification Use these to zoom in or out with the automatic zoom controls or type in your required magnification manually.

Pan Once selected, you can hold and drag to move around the document view with your mouse or trackpad.

At the bottom of the editor is the Send for eSign button. Once your approval and eSign workflows are created and your document is ready for signing, clicking on this button will initiate the approval flow. The document will automatically move from approver to approver, then eSigner to eSigner until all eSigns are completed.
