What is an envelope in docusign?

In DocuSign, an envelope is used to package and send one or more documents to be securely signed electronically. Envelopes contain the documents that need to be signed, as well as information about the recipients, the signing order, and any other settings or requirements for the signature process.

Once an envelope is created in DocuSign, it can be sent to recipients via email for review and signature. Recipients can then electronically sign the documents within the envelope using their computer, tablet, or mobile device. DocuSign tracks the status of the signature process for each recipient and provides a complete audit trail of all actions taken on the documents.

Envelopes in DocuSign can be customized with branding, custom fields, and other features to match the organization's branding and workflow requirements. Additionally, DocuSign offers advanced options for managing envelopes, such as setting reminders, deadlines, and notifications to ensure timely completion of the signature process.
