You can start a new workflow either from your dashboard or from the document listing screen, by clicking on the 'Sign a new document' button.
Use this option, when you are the only document signer and no one else needs to sign it. This is useful in cases when you want to send your signed document copy to others. SigningHub will add you as a fixed recipient and will allow you to add a signature field and sign (Digital or e-signature).
Use this option, when you are not the only document signer and other recipients need to sign a document to complete your document approval process.
When you click the "Sign a new document" button, the default workflow mode as defined in your role will be auto-selected. Use the adjacent drop-down to select your choice workflow mode as required.
When a document owner uploads a PNG image with a transparent background and signs it, the signed document copy will be shown as corrupted in Adobe Reader. It is a known issue in the third-party vendor's DLL file, which is being used for document conversion inside SigningHub.
After choosing an appropriate mode of the "Sign a new document" button, proceed to the Add documents phase.

SigningHub offers certain helpful document utilities, which you can avail after adding your documents in a package.
Specify the new name of your package in the "Package Name" field, appearing on the 'Documents' screen.
Click the 'Apply template' option appearing in the options menu, against the document on which you want to apply a template.
A dialogue box will appear showing options to list your personal templates (and enterprise templates, in case you are an enterprise user). The templates that are marked as read-only are the locked templates. The predefined configurations of a read-only template can not be modified. However, the placeholder fields inside a template can still be updated as required.
Select a template from the list and click the 'Apply' button. In case you want to apply this template on all the documents of the package, toggle on the 'Apply template to all documents" option.
Click the 'Delete' option appearing in the options menu, against the document on which you want to delete.
Click on the 'Delete' button to confirm the deletion. The selected document will be deleted from your workflow package.
Click the 'Rename' option appearing in the options menu, against the document on which you want to rename.
Specify the new name of your document in the 'Rename document' dialogue box, and click the "Save" button.
Click the 'Download' option appearing in the options menu, against the document on which you want to download. The document will be downloaded to your local 'Downloads' folder in a PDF file.
Click the 'Add to Library' option appearing in the options menu, against the document on which you want to add to the library. The document will be saved in your personal documents library.
Click the 'Re-upload' option appearing in the options menu, against the document on which you want to re-upload.
in the next dialogue box, select an option to add a document, and add a document, based on your selection. This will replace the old document with the new document.
The number of pages of the re-uploaded document must be equal to or more than the number of pages of the original document which has been replaced.
SigningHub lets you certify your digital signature. The certified signature is used to restrict the recipients to perform only the specific changes in a document, as the system won't allow them to perform any other changes. In this regard, the first signature of each document in a workflow package will be a certified digital signature that will determine the allowed permissions on the document, while the rest of the signatures will be normal digital signatures. A document having a certified digital signature is called a certified document.
The system might show the pre-selected options as laid out in your Enterprise Settings. (In the case of an Individual user, the options specified in the web.config file will be followed.) You may change the default settings as required before sharing.
Certify with no changes
Select this option to disallow any changes to the document after the Certified Digital Signature has been applied. The recipients will not be able to add any annotation to the document, fill out PDF forms, or include additional signatures. This option is intended for documents requiring only one signature.
Certify with form filling and signing
Select this option to allow the recipients to only fill in PDF forms, and sign empty signature fields after the Certified Digital Signature has been applied. They will not be able to add any new annotations to the document. This option is intended for documents requiring one or more signatures.
Certify with form filling, signing and annotations
Select this option to allow the recipients to fill in PDF forms, sign empty signature fields, and add annotations to the document after the Certified Digital Signature has been applied. This option is intended for documents requiring one or more signatures.
After you have added documents to a workflow package:
Click the 'Certify' option appearing in the options menu, against each document in a package which you want to certify.
Toggle on the 'Certify the document' option, and choose the required certification preference from the dropdown. For details, see the 'Certify options' table above.
Enable the 'Lock the document upon workflow completion', if you want to lock all the form fields of your document after the last signature. The document locking feature is specifically related to PDF documents with form fields. This checkbox will be disabled when the "Certify and allow no changes" option is selected from the above drop-down.
Click the 'Save' button.
SigningHub offers a wide range of custom documents that can be shared for approval/sign-off purposes. Each document is automatically converted into PDF format before it is brought to the SigningHub platform. In SigningHub, documents are shared in the form of a workflow package. A package may contain different files to facilitate the sharing of multiple documents in one go. It is shared collectively as a bundle, by consuming a single workflow from your available quota. A recipient/ group after receiving the package will have to sign/ edit/ approve all the documents in it to complete their collaboration part. When using an on-premises deployment, please ensure that the font(s) being used in a document, must be installed on your server machine where SigningHub has been deployed.
There are three different ways to add a document to a workflow package:
Upload a document from your local machine.
Import a document from the SigningHub library. The library contains your personal documents (and your enterprise documents, in case you are an enterprise user).
Get a document directly from your cloud storage.
Get it from your Dropbox account, or
Get it from your Google Drive, or
Get it from your OneDrive
Drag and drop the document or click the"select them from your device" option to select the document from your local machine. The documents will be added to a package for further processing.
Click on the library button.
The 'Add files from library' dialogue box will appear, giving you the list of your personal documents (and your enterprise documents, in case you are an enterprise user). The document with a configured template will display the template name adjacent to it. Selecting such a document will apply the template details on the document automatically.
The 'Library'" filter can be used to select the "All", "Personal" or "Enterprise" options to list the respective documents for selection. The adjacent count shows the respective number of documents available under each section.
The 'Folder' filter can be used if you want to view documents belonging to a specific folder. The "Folder" filter will appear if there is at least one library document folder created.
After you have selected an appropriate variant:
Click on the 'Google Drive' icon, and specify your Google credentials (ID & password) in the next appearing popup to log into your Google account.
SigningHub will display the list of your Google documents after the successful login. Locate and select the required document(s) from the list. Use Ctrl+click to select multiple documents.
Click the "Select" button to bring the selected documents into SigningHub. The document(s) will be added to the package for further processing.
