Use this interactive demo to learn how to control recipient signing order in PandaDoc.

Quick summary

PandaDoc's signing order feature lets you control the exact sequence in which recipients sign a document, ensuring each signer gets access only after the previous person completes their signature. You can enable this directly from the document editor in just a few clicks.

Steps

Navigate to the Documents tab in your PandaDoc dashboard.
Open the document you want to send for signatures.
Click the recipients icon in the top-right corner of the document editor.
Toggle on the Set Signing Order option in the recipients panel.
Recipients will now receive the document in the specified order, with each signer required to complete their signature before the next person gains access.

📌 Why this matters

Controlling the signing order in PandaDoc ensures that multi-party documents follow a defined approval workflow, reducing errors and unauthorized access. This feature is essential for contracts, legal agreements, and any document requiring sequential sign-off from multiple stakeholders. By enforcing a strict signing sequence, teams can maintain compliance, improve accountability, and eliminate the confusion of out-of-order signatures. PandaDoc's built-in signing order removes the need for manual follow-ups, making the entire document execution process faster and more reliable.
