syntex | Esignature Overview | https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/microsoft-365-docs/commits/public/microsoft-365/syntex/esignature-overview.md | Before you can use SharePoint eSignature, you must first link your Azure subscri SharePoint eSignature enables binding agreements between parties by allowing guests access to SharePoint to electronically sign documents. Certain external sharing must be enabled at a tenant or site level to allow this access. For more information, see [Set up SharePoint eSignature for external recipients](esignature-setup.md#external-recipients). Consider whether this meets your compliance and security requirements when enabling eSignature. +## Using other signature providers ++SharePoint eSignature is now integrated with other electronic signature providers, such as Adobe Acrobat Sign and DocuSign. You can initiate requests using these other providers from PDF documents in SharePoint, while ensuring the secure and automatic storage of signed documents in Microsoft 365. Other electronic signature providers will be added in the future. ++The providers facilitate the signing process and send out all relevant notifications. When signing is complete, a copy of the fully signed document is automatically saved in SharePoint for easy access. For more information, see [how to add other signature providers](esignature-setup.md#add-other-signature-providers) and [how to create a signature request using another provider](esignature-send-requests.md#create-a-signature-request-using-another-provider). + ## Release notes - SharePoint eSignature is available for only PDF documents at this time. - Tracking of SharePoint eSignature requests through the Approvals app in Microsoft Teams is now available.-- Support for additional electronic signature providers will begin later in Summer 2024 with Adobe Acrobat Sign and Docusign. In the future, there will be potential integration with other providers.--+- Support for Adobe Acrobat Sign and Docusign is now available.

syntex | Esignature Review Sign Requests | https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/microsoft-365-docs/commits/public/microsoft-365/syntex/esignature-review-sign-requests.md | When you create a signature request with SharePoint eSignature, it goes through When the status of a request is **Completed**, **Canceled**, or **Declined**, the request can no longer be acted on by either the sender or the recipients. As an example, if a recipient declines a request, the sender would need to send a new request after the reason for declining has been addressed. The original declined request can't be edited. ## Access the signed document-+### Documents signed with Microsoft SharePoint eSignature All parties involved in the request receive an email notification saying that the request has been completed and the status of the request is **Completed**. In the email, you can select **View signed document** to access the signed document and the request history. Signers can continue to access and download the signed document from the email notification for 30 days after receiving the email. Additionally, request senders will be able to access the originating folder in which the signed document was saved directly from the email. > [!NOTE] > When you open a PDF document on a SharePoint site, you won't see the details of the request if your default PDF viewer is set to Adobe. You'll need to set PDF viewer as your default viewer. -## Security of the signed document +#### Security of the signed document After all recipients have signed the document, the signatures are added and an audit trail is appended to the signed PDF. Details of the request, including activities and timestamps of when they occurred throughout the signing process, are included. The details include the date and time the request created, date and time when the recipients signed, and so on. These details provide evidence of the integrity of the signing process. The signed document is then digitally signed by a Microsoft certificate to ensure that it can't be tampered with. +### Documents signed with other signature providers +All parties will receive an email notification from the provider when document signing is complete. The email typically contains a link to the signed document or as an attachment. The document is usually accessible via the provider platform and remain there for a period of time permitted by the policy setup on the provider platform. Additionally, a copy of the signed document is automatically stored in SharePoint. The signed document is stored in a provider specific folder within the SharePoint document library of the original document (the original document is the PDF with which the request was initiated from). The signed document can be found using this folder path : **[Document library] > Apps\Signed documents\provider**. For example Contoso Documents → Apps → Signed documents → Docusign. The retention policy of the saved document will inherit the retention policy set up by the SharePoint or tenant admin ++> [!NOTE] +> A copy of the signed document will not be saved if the request is declined or canceled. Any additional document uploaded via the third party platform (i.e. outside of sharePoint) while creating a request will also not be saved back to sharePoint. Only documents initiated from SharePoint are saved back to SharePoint. |

External s ### Authentication -External recipients might need to authenticate before they're able to access a document for signing. The type of authentication required by the external recipients depends on the configuration for guest users at the SharePoint level or at the tenant level. Additionally, if the external user belongs to an organization with a Microsoft 365 tenant, it's possible for their organization's setup to affect their authentication experience when attempting to sign the document. For more information, see [Collaboration with guests in a site](/microsoft-365/solutions/collaborate-in-site). +External recipients might need to authenticate before they're able to access a document for signing.

For more information, see [Collaboration with guests in a site](/microsoft-365/solutions/collaborate-in-site). ### Conditional access Certain [conditional access](/entra/identity/conditional-access/overview) might determine whether external recipients (signers outside of your organization or Microsoft 365 tenant) will be able sign a document. Depending on the admin setup, external signers might not be able to access and read the document for signing. In some other cases, they might be able to access the document for signing, but the signing operation will be unsuccessful. One common way to resolve this is to add the **Microsoft eSignature Service** to the list of approved apps via the Microsoft Entra admin center. +> [!NOTE] +> When using other electronic signature providers, settings within Microsoft 365 don't impact whether you can send requests outside to external recipients. ## Document storage and retention The working copy of the request is stored and retained for five years or in acco Every email notification sent in relation to a signature request contains a URL link that allows the recipient to view, review, and sign the document. When a request reaches a terminal state (when the status is **Completed**, **Canceled**, or **Declined**), the recipient has 30 days to view, download, and store the document in a preferred location. After the link expires, it can no longer be used to access the document. For more protection, when a sender cancels a request, recipients immediately lose access to the request document. The email notification received by recipients won't contain a URL link to view the request.++### Other electronic signature providers ++At the end of the signing process when all required parties have signed, a copy of the signed document is automatically saved to SharePoint. The signed document is saved to a provider-specific folder of a special **Apps** folder in SharePoint. Every document library has a provider-specific folder where all documents signed by using that provider are saved. The signed document will be stored in the folder path < Document library > → Apps → Signed documents → < Provider > ++![Screenshot showing a signed document in a provider-specific folder.](../media/content-understanding/esignature-other-provider-folder.png) ++> [!NOTE] +> How long a copy of the signed document is retained in the other provider's platform depends solely on your document storage and retention policy settings for that provider service. |

The ### Collaboration settings -SharePoint eSignature is an extension of SharePoint document storage and management service. Therefore, all existing access, sharing, and data loss prevention policies that are already applied at the tenant level, SharePoint site and library level, or folder and file level might affect whether a request can be started from a document in SharePoint and who it can be sent to. Some of the scenarios that might affect the signature request process are: +SharePoint eSignature is an extension of SharePoint document storage and management service. Existing access, sharing, and data loss prevention policies that are already applied at the tenant level, SharePoint site and library level, or folder and file level might affect whether a request can be started from a document in SharePoint and who it can be sent to. Some of the scenarios that might affect the signature request process are: - If encryption is applied (for example, sensitivity labeling applied to the file), the ability to view the document wouldn't be available from SharePoint and therefore can't start a Signature request from there. Read more about [sensitivity labels](/purview/sensitivity-labels). Certain [conditional access](/entra/identity/conditional-access/overview) polici In some cases, the admin might need to add the SharePoint eSignature app (formally called Microsoft eSign service) to the **Excluded Apps** list in the **Conditional Access policy** > **Target resources** section so that the policy doesn't apply to the SharePoint eSignature app. The admin can verify the changes using the WhatIf tool with the policy. +## Unable to create a request from another signature provider ++When you initiate a signature request from a document for another provider, such as Adobe Acrobat Sign and DocuSign, the document might have security and access policies applied that prevent the document from opening in the provider service. The most common policies include download and encryption policies applied. You must ensure that the document isn't encrypted before initiating the signature request and that the creator of the request has permission to download the file. + ## Unable to find the request emails If you were sent an eSignature request and can't find it in your email inbox, you should check your spam or junk folder. It's also good practice to mark the sender as non-spam so that future emails from the same sender go directly into your inbox. |
