How recipients review and approve a document

Explain what a client or supplier should do with a shared document link.

A document’s shared link

Before you start

The sender must have shared the correct document link or email with the intended recipient.

Step by step

  1. Open the document link

    The recipient opens the email link or shared URL to view the document. They do not need to navigate your internal workspace.

  2. Review the scope and totals

    Read the business and recipient details, line items, terms, schedule, and any change comparison. Contact the sender if something is unclear.

  3. Use the offered decision controls

    When approval or decline is available, choose the intended action and complete any required name and signature fields. Read the confirmation before submitting.

  4. Check the resulting status

    After submitting, check the document’s visible decision. The sender can follow its updated status and any available activity.

What happens next

The document records the submitted decision when successful. Viewing a page alone does not approve it, and approval alone does not necessarily pay it.

Good to know

A purchase order is sent to a supplier; an estimate or invoice is typically sent to a client. The available actions depend on document type and current status.
