Hello very helpful post, I just have one question, how do I know who needs to sign the document? if it says waiting for others, and says needs to sign. Am I the one who needs to sign it? because I cant find an option to do that, it directs me to upload documents

Also, how do I get past step 3 if I've already uploaded and signed all the documents?

Hi,

Welcome to the DocuSign Support Community,

If you've sent the document for signature to other people, you can see who needs to sign by clicking on the subject line in the "Waiting for Others" section.

I'm not sure what you mean by "how do I get past step 3..." Could you share more about what you're referring to?

Thank you.
