Final and Signed describe different properties of a document. Final indicates the recorded final-file state, while Signed identifies a record marked as signed. One should not be inferred solely from the other.
Use the status filter that matches your purpose. If you need evidence of a signature, inspect a signed document and the related signing workflow. If you need the finalized deliverable, use Final and check its version and service context.
The displayed badge gives priority to a signed state when a record has that flag. The status summary therefore does not replace reading the document itself or checking the workflow that produced it.
If a document’s label conflicts with what the team told you, ask them to confirm the correct record before relying on it externally. Do not change a local filename to final or signed and assume that establishes the corresponding status in Institution. A newly uploaded copy remains subject to the application’s recorded workflow and any necessary review.
