Welcome to Board.Vision Tutorials. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to decline to sign a document.

Important Note: The Board.Vision web app is optimised and supported for desktop use on Google Chrome (version 65.0 and later) and Microsoft Edge (version 87.0 and later).

To decline to sign a document:

1) Access the document from your Board.Vision account or email.

2) On the document page, click on More Actions and Decline.

3) On the "Decline to sign" pop-up window, enter the reason. Then, click on Yes, Decline.

6) Once declined, you will be directed to the screen below.

On Email Notifications

1) An email from notifications@board.vision with the subject line “<Company name>: SmartSign - Document was declined” will be sent to all Signatories, Observer(s), and the Preparer.

Note:

In a parallel signing workflow, all Signatories receive the document at the same time and can sign in any order. If one Signatory declines the document, an email notification will be sent to all Signatories, Observers, and the Preparer.
In a sequential signing workflow, Signatories receive and sign the document in the order their email addresses were entered in the Add Signatories field. If Signatory 1 declines the document, Signatory 2 will not be notified, as he/she has not yet received any email to review and sign.

Important Note:

Declining to act on the document will affect all the Signatories, including yourself.

Upon clicking on the link in the email, all the Signatories will be directed to the screen below.
