## **1\. Where Clients Can E-Sign Contracts 📄**

There are 2 places where a client can e-sign their contracts:

1\. **Email Notification 📧**

     After you have sent out a Contract for e-signature, your client will receive an email notification as shown below:

Your client can then click on the **Review and Sign** button which will open a browser tab displaying the contract for them to review and add their e-signature.

**Note:** This feature is available even if your client does not have an active client portal.

2\. **Client Portal**

    If your client has an active client portal, they can also e-sign contracts via their client portal.

    They can login to their client portal and select **Contracts** under **My Coach.** Then click on the **Sign** button to add their e-signature.

## **2\. How Clients E-sign Contracts ✍️**

On the contract page, only the placeholders that you have assigned to clients to complete will be displayed to them. 

**Note:** The mandatory placeholders that must be completed are identified by a red asterisk.

When the **Signature** place holder has been clicked on, a window will pop-up allowing clients to draw in their signature. 🖊️

When the placeholders have been completed, it would look similar to the image shown below:

### **Contract Audit Trails 👣**

Once a contract has been signed by both parties, you will be able to find the **Audit Trail** section at the end of the document when you preview the contract as shown in the image below.

The audit trail provides a log of the date/time stamp when the document was sent, viewed, and signed, along with the IP addresses.

Again, to view the audit trail, scroll down to the last page of the document.
