This update gives you the flexibility to correct mistakes, update information, or make improvements without needing to start from scratch.

Read more about Editing In-Progress Documents

Here's what you can do in edit mode:

  • Reopen documents for editing - All existing signatures are cleared, but all other entered information is retained.

  • Exclusive access while editing - Only users with editing permissions can access the document during this time. Recipients will not see the document until you send it back out.

  • Make direct edits - Change text, add or remove fields, and adjust the document as needed.

  • Restart the signing process when you're ready. Once your edits are complete, you can send the document back to the recipients in the original order.

💡 Note: All previous recipients' data, except signatures, will remain intact when entering edit mode.


📎 Add a Candidate Resume

We now offer the ability to upload a new resume to a candidate profile if a resume was not provided during application. This is perfect for walk-in applicants, referrals, or anyone who didn’t submit a file during the application.

Read more about Adding a Candidate Resume

Keeping candidate profiles complete ensures smoother reviews, better collaboration, and faster decision-making.

Use the Upload Resume option when:

  • A candidate applied without attaching a resume

  • You’re entering a referral or walk-in manually

  • You’ve received a resume outside the system (e.g. via email)

Our system will parse education and work experience from the resume. It won’t overwrite personal details.
