SIGNATURE REQUEST REVIEW · Workflow idea

Keep electronic signature requests accurate and accountable.

When a signature service asks your team to respond about a document, gather the request details and prepare the agreed response. Give a document owner the chance to confirm the document, request status, and response before it is returned.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A notice that an electronic signature request needs a response from your team

“Review the document request and its current status, prepare the appropriate response, and hold it for an authorized person to approve.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

6 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps a document owner handle signature-related requests consistently while keeping decisions about legal documents with an authorized person.

  1. Identify the signature request

    Review the request reference and determine which document and business process it relates to.

  2. Check the document and current status

    Confirm that the document is the expected version and establish whether the request is still active or has already changed.

  3. Understand what response is needed

    Clarify whether the request needs acknowledgement, a status decision, or further review by the document owner.

  4. Prepare the proposed response

    Use the team’s approved handling guidance and make the intended response clear without making a legal decision on someone’s behalf.

  5. Approve before replying

    Require an authorized document owner to verify the request and approve the exact response before it is returned.

  6. Record the decision and next step

    Keep the reviewed outcome and any remaining signature follow-up visible to the responsible team.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A prepared response linked to its signature request, with the document and current status visible for approval before it is returned.

The handoff

A prepared response linked to its signature request, with the document and current status visible for approval before it is returned.

Keep in mind

A request may be incomplete, unexpected, or connected to the wrong document. Verify its origin, document, and current status; do not approve, decline, or otherwise respond until an authorized owner confirms the exact action.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define signature requests in scope

Choose which document processes may be reviewed and identify their responsible business owners.

Set response and escalation guidance

Document which responses may be proposed, what requires legal or business review, and how unexpected requests are held.

Assign authorized reviewers

Name who verifies each document and who may approve a response on behalf of the organization.

Test expected, stale, and unknown requests

Check routine requests and unusual or outdated cases to confirm nothing is returned before an authorized person approves it.
