Documents and signatures

Inspect a document before opening its contents

Use Details and history to check context, status, and the upload note.

Updated 2026-11-11

Details and history opens a side panel with the full filename and recorded context. It is useful when the table’s short labels are not enough to identify the correct file.

The panel shows Type, Related service, Company, Status, and Size, together with the source and creation date. An upload note appears when one was supplied. Review those fields before using a similarly named document.

The panel also contains Version history and, for supported service associations, Open related workflow. Those links help connect the file with the work that produced or requested it.

Metadata can explain a record but does not replace reading the contents. A filename or note can contain an error, and a status may still require checking the relevant review or signature workflow. If you find a wrong company or purpose, ask the team to correct the association. Do not send the entire private file to a new channel just to ask what the record is. The filename and context are often enough to begin.
