It has come to our attention that the external recipients can download the partially signed documents and certificate of completion, before the envelope has completed. Is there any way that this can be avoided?

If not can we please raise a feature request to disable this at site level?

Dear DocuSign Support Team,

I am the administrator of our DocuSign Business Pro account and I need help with a security setting.

I would like to ensure that recipients cannot download a document before they have signed it. Unfortunately, I could not find this setting or enable it in my current configuration.

Please enable the feature for my account that prevents recipients from downloading documents before signing them.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Sehr geehrtes DocuSign-Team,

ich bin Administrator unseres DocuSign Business Pro-Kontosund benötige Hilfe bei einer Sicherheitseinstellung.

Ich möchte, dass Empfänger eines Dokuments die Datei erst herunterladen können, nachdem sie das Dokument unterzeichnet haben. Leider konnte ich diese Funktion bisher nicht finden oder aktivieren.

Bitte aktivieren Sie für mein Konto die entsprechende Funktion, damit Empfänger keine Möglichkeit haben, das Dokument vor der Unterschrift herunterzuladen.

Vielen Dank im Voraus für Ihre Unterstützung.

Thanks for sharing this idea with us ​@clairemccloskey. We’ve reviewed it and really appreciate the thought behind it.

At this time, we won’t be moving forward with this request, so we’ve marked it as “parked.” While it’s not currently on our roadmap, ideas like yours help guide future priorities if things change.

As an alternative, you might consider

  • Embedded signing
  • Remove the “Download” buttons from the signing UI through Resource File Branding. However, if the recipient has a DocuSign account and the document was sent there, they’ll still be able to log in and download the document.

Thanks again for contributing your input.
