How do I send a copy of the completed and fully signed document to a third party
Best answer by Community Expert

If the envelope is complete you cannot change the existing workflow of that envelope. What you can do is "Forward" the envelope to the individual who needs a copy. Locate the envelope under Manage and then Sent or Inbox, go to the dropdown to the right and select "forward", add the individual who you want to send a copy to as a Recipient with "receives a copy" as the Recipient type and Send.

Add them as a Recipient to the end of the envelope workflow set as the Recipient Type of "Receives a Copy". Placement in the workflow is important so I recommend using a Signing Order and placing them last in the envelope workflow so they get the final completed fully signed copy.

This is a community-based forum, so there aren’t a lot of dedicated DocuSign employees monitoring - you do have to wait for answers.

However, in answer to your question: you can find the envelope you want to forward on your “complete” tab, then click on the three dots to the far right for more options. “Forward” should be one of them.

 

(***I do not know if “Forward” is available for all tiers of  accounts, if you do not see the option you may need to upgrade for access).

good luck
