Build signing flow

The Sign.Plus API allows you to build a custom signing flow for your envelope. The signing flow (also known as signing steps or signing order) defines the order in which recipients sign the document. You can set the signing order for each recipient in the envelope.

All recipient are not required to sign the document. They can also only receives the document. You can set the signing order for each recipient in the envelope.
