How it works

Institution keeps one record for your company, and the workspace reflects that record. When something changes, the record is updated first and the Institution team works from the same information you see, so documents delivered to you stay consistent with what is on file.

  2. 2Open the section named in this article from the workspace navigation.
  3. 3Review the items assigned to your company.
  4. 4Complete or respond to anything marked as needing your input.
