## The Documents & signature card

The card sits under the payment terms. Every file attached here is visible to the customer on the pay link, where they can download it and, when required, sign it. The empty card reads *No documents yet — attach an MSA or statement of work*.

## Attach a document

1. Click **Attach file** and choose a PDF, PNG, JPG, DOC or DOCX file of up to 10 MB.
2. The file appears in the list with its size and is attached as **Reference only**.
3. If the customer must sign it, change the dropdown on the row to **Requires signature**.

Attaching a file is logged in the room's activity as *Attached filename*.

## Reference only or Requires signature

| Setting | What the customer sees |
|---|---|
| **Reference only** | The document is listed with a download icon and the label *Reference*. |
| **Requires signature** | The document is listed with *Requires signature* and a **Sign** button. The customer types their full name to sign. |

A document that needs a signature shows **Awaiting signature** on the card until it is signed, then **Signed *date***. Once signed, the dropdown is locked.

## Hold invoices until the documents are signed

Switch on **Require signature before the deposit invoice is issued** at the bottom of the card. When the customer accepts the quote, invoicing waits until every document marked **Requires signature** is signed; the card shows an amber **Holding invoices** badge and the activity logs *Invoicing held — awaiting required document signature*. The customer's pay page shows **Almost there** until they sign.

## Remove a document

Click the **×** on the row and confirm **Remove *name*?**. The file is detached from the room and from the customer's view; the upload itself is kept in your files.

## The agreement PDF

The quote itself is also available as a PDF:

- **⋯ → Download agreement (PDF)** in the room header downloads it for you.
- On the pay page, the customer's **Download agreement** button gives them the same document. It is available once the quote has been sent.

Before acceptance the PDF is the proposed agreement. After acceptance it becomes the **executed agreement**, recording the accepted line items, payment terms, who accepted, when, from which IP address, and the typed or drawn signature.

## Require a signature to accept

Separately from signing documents, you can require the customer to sign the quote itself when they accept. Switch on **Require signature** in settings for the organization, a sales group, or just this deal under **Customize for this deal** in the **Share & payment** card. The customer then chooses **Type** or **Draw** on the pay page and the signature is printed on the executed agreement. See [Accept the quote](./deal-rooms-what-the-customer-sees#accept-the-quote).

## Send the executed agreement

Once the quote is accepted, open **⋯ → Send executed agreement…**. The dialog confirms the address the PDF goes to; click **Send agreement**. The customer receives the *Executed agreement* email with the PDF attached. If the room has no email on file, link a customer with an email first.

Next: [Send the quote and share the pay link](./deal-rooms-send-the-quote).
