I received a DocuSign document to sign. I signed it. Does the document return automatically to the originator or must I return it?

The process is automatic, once you sign (add data to fields etc) and select Finish then the envelope routes to the next Recipient or if no further Recipients, it will complete and send out an email with the completed documents. If you didn't get that type of email then it likely has more Recipients in the process, approvals, signatures, etc.

Very helpful...but should you not now see the returned email with the signed document in your "sent" file...other wise your signed documents will always be located in your inbox???

If you are the Sender of the envelope, the envelope would appear in the "Sent" folder. If you were a Recipient then the envelope appears in the "Inbox".

Many Thanks. Its surprising that the fact that the document is returned automatically and left in your inbox is not explained as you have! Cheers!
