Do my signers need an app or an account?
No. Each signer opens their link in whatever browser they already have — phone, tablet or laptop — gives consent, passes whatever gates you set, and signs. No app, no account, no watermark on their copy. Only the host needs a Pro account.
What exactly do I get at the end?
Three things: the recording (if you started one), a tamper-sealed PDF carrying a Certificate of Signing & Seal page, and an Audit Report listing every participant, identity result, join event, device, IP and signature — exportable as PDF or CSV.
Can I force people to sign in a particular order?
Yes. Strict serial order is enforced by the system — the next signer cannot sign until the previous one has. You can also run it in parallel if order does not matter. See signing order & privacy.
Can I stop one signer from reading the whole document?
Yes — per-signer page visibility. A witness can be given the execution page only, while the parties see everything. One file, different views, no redacted duplicate to maintain.
Is recording mandatory?
No. Recording is host-controlled — you decide whether to start it, and start and stop are both written into the audit trail with timestamps. Guests are told up front that a compliance audit is tracking the session.
How do I prove nobody altered the PDF afterwards?
Upload any copy to /seal. It is free, public and needs no account. A match proves it is the unmodified original; a mismatch proves it is not.
Is this legal in Canada?
Electronic signatures are broadly recognised under PIPEDA and the provincial electronic-transaction statutes, and Quebec's Law 25 privacy obligations are addressed in our published Privacy Impact Assessment. What actually decides a dispute is the evidence behind a signature — which is what a recorded, identity-checked, sealed session is for. Remote witnessing and notarisation rules vary by province and profession, so check your own regulator's requirements. This is general information, not legal advice.
How many people can be in a session?
Up to 4 signers per document on Pro, plus you as host. If you routinely need more, tell us your volume.
What if someone drops off mid-session?
They rejoin from the same link and carry on — the session, the document state and the audit trail are all server-side, not held in a browser tab. You can return to a live session from the Video Sign button at any time.
