Egnyte Sign Overview and Administration

Egnyte Sign allows users to send an electronic signature request for a document stored in Egnyte.  Recipients sign in their browser and a legally binding signed copy is saved back to Egnyte as a digitally signed PDF. 

Key Capabilities of Egnyte Sign include:

  • Legally binding electronic signature process
  • Sending requests to anyone with an email address
  • Parallel or sequential signature workflows
  • Add signature, initial, text, and date fields 
  • PDF digital signatures with an Adobe Approved Trust List (AATL) certificate with Long Term Validation (LTV) to ensure data integrity
  • A signature dashboard to track sent and received signature requests
