Share your signing workflow publicly with shareable links

Shareable links allows you to invite people to sign a document when you don't know who the signing parties will be. (Find out how to add shareable links to your Scrive eSign service.)  

 

This article contains the following sections, click to see the instruction for the version of Scrive Online that you are currently using:

Scrive New:

  1. Upload your document to the design space, or start from a template.

  2. On the Add parties tab, open the sender settings (first party). We recommend that you set the Role to Viewer unless you also want to sign all documents generated from the link and invitation to Link. If you do not wish to get a confirmation for each signed document, set Confirmation to None :
