What is an audit trail and why does it matter?

An audit trail is a detailed record of every signing event, including the signer's name, email, IP address, geographic location, browser, timestamp, and whether they viewed the document before signing. Scribeo generates a signed PDF audit certificate when all parties have signed, which can be used as evidence in a dispute.

Can multiple people sign the same document?

Yes. Scribeo supports multiple signers per document. Each signer gets their own unique signing link, and you can track who has signed and who is still pending from your dashboard.
