Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my sent file not showing in the In Progress folder?
If a file is missing, verify that you are logged into the correct Adobe ID used to send the document. Additionally, check your internet connection and click refresh, as Adobe Sign requires an active connection to sync recent workflows.
Where can I find my documents once they are fully signed?
Completed files are automatically moved to the 'Completed' folder, which can also be found in the left-hand menu under the Adobe Sign section in the Home view.
Can I cancel a signature request that is currently in progress?
Yes. Select the document from the 'In Progress' folder, and in the right-hand details pane, you will find an option to cancel or withdraw the signature request.
