Hello, does this apply?

When I try to use the "sign a document" feature and not send to anyone at all, it still uses an envelope. Either the feature has been changed or I'm doing something wrong. This is a feature we would like to use quite often.

Hope someone can clarify this.

Thanks and regards.

Hi Christopher, 

Thanks for the quick reply.

These are exactly the steps I followed without sending a notification/request to sign to someone else and it consumed an envelope. we're on the business pro plan if that helps.

Yes, I need further assistance because I don't have a clear statement, even not in the guideline, if it uses an envelope or not if I just sign a document by and for myself.

Best regards,

Timo
