What this does
Every signing request has a tamper-proof audit trail that records every action taken — who viewed, signed, and when. This provides legal evidence that signatures are authentic.
What's recorded
- Document uploaded — timestamp and uploader
- Request sent — when each recipient was notified
- Email delivered — confirmation of delivery
- Document viewed — when each recipient opened it
- Identity verified — one-time code verification
- Signature applied — timestamp, IP address, and device
- Document completed — when all parties finished signing
Viewing the audit trail
- Open a completed signing request
- Click the Audit Trail tab
- View the chronological log of every event
- Download the audit trail as a PDF certificate
Tips
- The audit trail is attached to the final signed document as a certificate
- IP addresses and timestamps strengthen legal enforceability
- Audit trails cannot be edited or deleted
- Keep signed documents for the legally required retention period
