signing a docusign after client has signed it

Question

Hi, I am new to this and have sent a contract for a client to sign. I didn't add myself as a recipient (as I have now read I should have done). my client has now signed the document and it has come back. How do I now sign it? Any ideas please?

Hello, @rwilliamsonWelcome to the DocuSign Community!On this case, if the envelope is in the Status of Completed, the best thing to do is to create a new envelope, add the document again, add you and your clientas recipients, add the Sign Here and other fields in the document then send it. Thus, at the end a certificate of completion will be generated with all audit details and info from the signers.If the envelope was in the Waiting for Others status, you could correct them, add yourself as a signer then send again.I hope that helps!Alexandre
