Hi - I have a document that needs to be reviewed and then approved by one person, then sent off to a separate person for signature. Is there a way to do this? Thanks

Hello, 

Thank you for reaching out here in the DocuSign Community. 

During the envelope creation workflow (Manage > New > Send an Envelope), you will be prompted to add signers that will take actions on the document (in the “Add Recipients to the Envelope” section).  You would need to set both recipients as "Need to Sign" and set a signing order, this will ensure that, as soon as the first recipient (the approver) finishes their side, the next recipient will get the document to sign: https://support.docusign.com/en/guides/ndse-user-guide-signing-order 

Once you have set the signing order, add the Approve and Decline fields to the Approver and any other needed fields to the Signer (the recipients are color-coded, you can switch between recipients by clicking the dropdown on the top left of the screen when you are in the tagging section): https://support.docusign.com/s/document-item?bundleId=ulp1643236876813&topicId=vfk1578456408630.html&_LANG=enus
