Document bundling

Availability: Essentials, Business, and Enterprise plans

How to bundle documents

We suggest bundling documents on the template level to include any documents you usually send (NDAs, contracts, invoices, etc.) that need to be signed and stored separately.

Learn how to bundle documents via API here.

There are several ways you can bundle your documents on the template/document level.

1. Start by creating a single template/document, then add documents to it. Use several templates you already have, add templates from our template gallery, or upload documents. 
2. Upload several documents to create a batch you can sequence yourself. To do this, select Documents on the left navigation >  +Document, then either select Upload file to choose files from your desktop, or simply drag and drop several files into the upload area.
3. Select several templates to create a batch. To do this, first select Documents on the left navigation >  click on the arrow next to +Document button and select From my templates. Next, select the templates you’d like to include in the order you need, then select Add items.
   Alternatively, select the templates you'd like to bundle in the template list and click Bundle at the top of the page.  
   

 

To bundle documents within a single template or document, select the document icon at the top left, then hover above or under the document name in the Documents panel until you see a blue indicator line. Once you do, click the plus icon (+), then select Add document.

Alternatively, you can select +Document to add a document to the foot of the document batch. 

Once you’ve bundled your documents, you can add all necessary fields and ensure each one is assigned to the appropriate signer. Finally, you can send your batch of documents to recipients via email or direct link.

Working with bundled documents

You can easily navigate your bundled documents by using the Documents panel. To open the panel, simply select the document icon under the name of your batched documents.

Within the Documents panel, you can:

• Add a new document/content 
• Fold or unfold a document by selecting the arrow next to the document name
• Change a document’s name
• Delete a document
• Replace the source file of an uploaded document

Each document name will be shown separately above the document. It will be inherited from the templates/uploaded file names that were used to create a bundle.

Signing bundled documents

Each signer will need to fill out the field(s) assigned to them and select Finish to complete all bundled documents. Signers can use the Documents panel on the left to easily navigate through documents.

Once all signers have completed each document, the status of the batch will change to “Completed.” At this point, you’ll be able to download the documents as a single PDF or separate PDF files, with a signature certificate for each document containing a signature field.

Downloading bundled documents

You have two options for downloading batched documents:

• As multiple, separate PDFs
• As a single PDF with a separate signature certificate for each completed document (Please note that the signature certificate is added to any document containing at least one signature field and finalized by each signer.)
