Documents and signatures

Complete the electronic signature consent

Review the request before accepting its consent and submitting your signature.

Updated 2026-11-11

An internal signature request requires you to accept the statement that you have reviewed the document and agree to sign it electronically. The checkbox appears below the signature control in the request details.

Read the request’s message, instructions, recipient, and document information first. Enter Full name and provide a typed or drawn signature. Then select the consent checkbox if you agree and choose Sign now.

If you leave consent unchecked, the request asks you to accept the electronic signature consent and does not complete through that attempt. A populated name field or a drawing does not bypass this step. Consent is also reset when a request is opened again, so an earlier unfinished review does not automatically carry forward.

If you cannot review the document or have questions about its contents, pause and ask the team for clarification. The checkbox should reflect your own decision. For an external signing request, follow the provider’s displayed consent process; Institution’s internal checkbox is not used to complete that separate workflow.
