Can I finish a document when only some of the signers have signed?

Yes, if you chose how many must sign when you sent it. In the Send Document box, switch on Multiple signers and pick, for example, 2 of 3 under How many must sign. Once that many people have signed, SignZA emails you and you press Complete now to finish the document without the others.

Steps

  1. In the Send Document box, go to the Signer step and switch on Multiple signers.
  2. Add your three signers.
  3. Under Signing order, pick All at once.
  4. Under How many must sign, pick 2 of 3.
  5. On the last step, check that the Review box reads Must sign 2 of 3, then press Place fields.
  6. Mark where each person signs and press Send.
  7. When 2 people have signed, SignZA emails you and shows a notice in your dashboard.
  8. On your Documents list, click the document to open it and press Complete now.
  9. Read the message, then press Yes, complete.
  10. Open the completion email and press Download Signed Document to get your signed copy.

Good to know

  • Multiple signers is on Pro and up. On Free, a document goes to one signer.
  • Pro and Business take up to 5 signers. Enterprise takes up to 10.
  • Nothing completes by itself. The third person can still sign until you press Complete now.
  • After you complete it, the person who has not signed can no longer sign. If they open their link it says "This document has been completed".
  • The signed copy says it was completed with 2 of 3 signers and names who did not sign.

Questions and answers

Does the document finish by itself when enough people have signed?

No. SignZA emails you and shows a notice, and you decide when to press Complete now. Until then the others can still sign.

What does the person who did not sign see?

If they open their link, it says the document has been completed and they no longer need to sign. SignZA does not send them anything when you complete the document.

Can I pick a number other than 2 of 3?

Yes. The How many must sign list offers Everyone, plus every number below that. With 3 signers that is 1 of 3 and 2 of 3.

Does the signed copy show who did not sign?

Yes. The certificate page says "Completed with 2 of 3 signers" and names each signer who did not sign.

Do I need a paid plan to use this?

Multiple signers is on Pro and up. On Free, a document goes to one signer.
