How do electronic signatures work in Docs?

Overview

The feature Read & Sign (Read & Sign) makes it possible to request a simple electronic signature on PDF documents in the Docs app. It complies with ANSSI eIDAS simple electronic signature level No. 910/2014.

Enable signature tracking

1. Access a document PDF in the Docs app

2. Enable the signature tracking option on the document

Only documents in PDF format can be signed.

Track signatures

Once tracking is enabled:

• View the list of signatories and their status (signed / pending)

• See the number of signatures obtained out of the total expected

• Each signature is timestamped to ensure traceability

Activity Page

The Activity page in the Docs app groups together documents requiring action:

• Documents awaiting signature

• Overall tracking of signatures in progress

What the assistant can do

The assistant cannot handle signatures directly. It can explain how it works and guide you to the Docs app.
