| Signing Order Type | How it Works | When to Use It |
|---|---|---|

| Parallel | All signers receive the document at the same time and can sign independently. | When the order of signatures does not matter, like multiple team members acknowledging a policy. |
Adding authentication, like an email or SMS code, makes sure only the correct person can sign the document. This adds an extra layer of security, which is very important for contracts that are very valuable or contain sensitive information. It helps prove who signed the document.
If a signer's email address is incorrect, they will not receive the e-signature request. The document will not be delivered to them, and you will need to correct the email and resend the request. Always double-check email addresses before sending.
The Acrobat Sign API is a set of tools that allows other software programs to automatically send and manage e-signature requests. This means you can integrate e-signing directly into your company's existing systems, like CRM or HR software. It helps automate repetitive tasks, making the process faster and reducing manual effort for sending many agreements.
