Step 1: Prepare Your Document

‍

• Log in to your DeedSign electronic signature platform account.
• Upload the document you wish to get signed to the platform.

‍

Step 2: Set Up the Document for Signing

‍

• Add the necessary fields to the document, such as signature fields, date fields, text boxes, etc., depending on what information you need from the signers.
• If your platform allows, specify any roles or signer requirements. This might not be applicable to all types of signing links, especially if the link is meant for a broad audience without specific signer roles.

‍

Step 3: Create the Signing Link

‍

• Look for an option to create a signing link or shareable link. This might be found within the document setup options or available as a distinct choice after you prepare the document.
• Configure any settings related to the signing link. DeedSign platforms allow you to set expiration dates for the link or limit the number of signers.
• Generate the link. The platform should provide you with a URL that you can copy.

‍

Step 4: Share the Signing Link

‍

• Share the link through your preferred channel. This can be via direct messaging, social media, embedded in a website, or even sent through an email if you prefer.
• Ensure you provide clear instructions to potential signers about the need to sign the document and any deadlines.

‍

Step 5: Monitor Signatures

‍

• With the link shared, you can usually track how many people have signed the document through your platform's dashboard.
• Some platforms allow you to receive notifications as signatures are added.

‍

Important Considerations:

‍

• Security and Privacy: Ensure that the document shared via a signing link does not contain sensitive or private information that should not be publicly accessible.
• Signer Authentication: Understand that by using a signing link, you might not have specific control over who signs the document, unlike sending individual requests via email.
• Platform Limitations: Not all eSignature platforms may offer the ability to create a signing link, or there may be different features and limitations based on your subscription level.

‍

Creating a signing link can significantly streamline the process of gathering multiple signatures, especially for more general documents or forms that require a broad collection of participants. Always refer to your specific platform’s help resources or customer support for detailed instructions tailored to their system.
