Resources
Start from the job, not from the feature
Most people arrive with a task in mind rather than a topic. These are the tasks, each one linking to the part of the documentation that covers it.
Guides
- Send one document to fifty people at onceGive every recipient the same routing number. They are all emailed together and can sign in any order, independently of each other.How to do it
- Get an approval before a signatureMake the approver a recipient on an earlier number with the approver role. Nobody after them is emailed until they have acted, and their approval is recorded distinctly from a signature.How to do it
- Stop chasing people by handSet a reminder cadence once in settings (an interval and a maximum count) and Baton chases whoever is currently holding each document, then stops.How to do it
- Set up the paperwork you send every monthSave the recipients, the order, the cadence and the covering note as a template. Next time, change the one address that differs.How to do it
- Find an agreement you cannot nameSearch reads the text inside every document, so a phrase you half-remember will find it. Then save the search as a view if you will want it again.How to do it
- Recover something you deletedTrash, from the library. It leads with the days remaining, and restoring puts the document back exactly as it was.How to do it
- Answer an auditor’s question about a signatureOpen the document’s trail and read it as sentences, or hand over the signed PDF, because the certificate page inside it lists every participant, time, address and file hash.How to do it
- Decide how long deleted documents should be keptOne number in settings, between a day and a year. Read the note about shortening it first: it applies to documents already in the trash.How to do it
