Features of Upload a Doc

Uploading a doc and features associated with this function

Written by Andrew Colagiuri

Getting Started with Upload a Doc

Upload a Doc allows you to upload any PDF and send it for acknowledgement or electronic signing in just a few clicks. Whether you're sending a single document or a complete document pack, Upload a Doc provides the flexibility to customise, manage, and track the entire signing process.

Key Features

Create Custom Templates

Save time by creating reusable templates that include:

  • Introductory text

  • Acknowledgement statements

  • Standard signing requirements

  • Frequently used documents

Once created, templates can be reused whenever needed, helping to streamline your workflow and maintain consistency.


Add Text and Customise Documents

In addition to signature fields, you can add:

  • Name fields

  • Date fields

  • Free text

  • Custom instructions

You can also format and position content to suit your document requirements.


Text Placeholders

Think of them as smart fill-in-the-blanks for your documents. Simply create them for any details that might change, like names, dates, addresses, or contract terms.

How do they work?

Using placeholders is simple:

  1. Create your placeholders – Set up fields for the information that may change from one document to another.

  2. Add them to your document – Drag and drop placeholders wherever they're needed in your document.

  3. Populate the information – Complete the fields yourself or allow your clients to provide the information during the signing process, depending on your workflow.


Checkbox Placeholders

Add checkboxes directly to your uploaded documents! Checkboxes give you more flexibility when customising uploaded documents, perfect for situations where recipients need to select from a list of options.

With our new custom field builder, you can:

  • Add single or multiple checkboxes

  • Make them required or optional

  • Allow single or multiple responses

  • Position them neatly in your template so everything lines up perfect


Highlight & Convert

You can now highlight any word or phrase in your Upload a Doc document and instantly convert it into:

  • Checkbox placeholders: great for lists, options, or confirmations.

  • 📝 Text placeholders: ideal for details that need to be filled in by you or your recipient.

No more manually adding fields one by one. This update makes it simple to create fully interactive documents in a fraction of the time, especially when working on larger templates with lots of fields to complete.


Clone Fields Across Documents

The Clone feature allows you to quickly duplicate fields throughout a document.

This is particularly useful for:

  • Initials required on multiple pages

  • Repeated signature fields

  • Date fields appearing throughout a document

Cloning helps ensure consistency while reducing manual setup time.


Witness Signatures

Where required, you can request witness signatures as part of the signing process.

To maintain the integrity of the witnessing process:

  • The witness must be physically present with the signer

  • Both signatures are completed on the same device

  • The witness signs immediately after the signer


Send Multiple Documents at Once

Using the Multi Doc feature, you can upload and send multiple documents in a single signing request.

Benefits include:

  • Fewer emails sent to recipients

  • A single signing journey for clients

  • Easier document management

  • Faster completion of related documents

Each document can have its own fields and signing requirements while still being sent together.
