Signing a contract sent through DocuSign
Last updated: June 18, 2026
SpotDraft offers e-sign integration with DocuSign. If you received a contract via DocuSign instead of SpotDraft's own e-signing tool. Here's what's different for you as the signer.
About signing through DocuSign
A SpotDraft customer can choose to send a contract through DocuSign instead of SpotDraft's own e-signing. When that happens, you sign inside DocuSign, not in the SpotDraft experience described in Signing a contract on SpotDraft. This short guide explains how to tell which one you're in, how the signing works, and what's different.
How to tell you're signing through DocuSign
The email comes from DocuSign, not SpotDraft.
The signing screen is DocuSign's, so you won't see SpotDraft's full-page guided experience, or the SpotDraft toolbar.
How to sign
DocuSign walks you through the contract much like SpotDraft does:
Open the email from DocuSign and select Review Document.
Agree to DocuSign's electronic record and signature disclosure.
Select Start. DocuSign takes you to each field that needs you.
Add your signature by typing, drawing, or uploading it, as DocuSign prompts.
Select Finish.
DocuSign emails you a copy when you're done.
What's different from SpotDraft's own signing
SpotDraft's guided navigation, Ask AI, and the SpotDraft signing toolbar are part of SpotDraft's native experience only. They will not be available in DocuSign.
Reassigning or declining happens via DocuSign's flow and synced back to SpotDraft CLM.
After you sign
Once everyone has signed in DocuSign, the executed contract syncs back to SpotDraft automatically, so the sender has it on record. There's nothing extra for you to do.
