Overview
In this article, you'll learn how to download signed PDF documents from the Signing section in Appical. This process allows you to retrieve signed forms and important documentation, such as the Certificate of Completion, that provide a detailed record of the signing events.
Example: For instance, if you're working on onboarding new employees, you may need to download signed NDAs or contracts for your records. This guide will help you access those signed documents within the designated retention period.
📌 Important:
Documents are available for 60 days after being sent for signing.
After this period, signed documents will no longer be accessible through Appical.
Retention rules for signed documents may also apply based on your DocuSign account settings. For more details check: DocuSign's storage policy.
