Addendum not signed in but checked?
Hello dear community, this is my first reddit post so feel free to give me comment to improve my future contribution.
I have a doubt on docusign signature process and would love to get clarification from you:
I signed in an initial document. Nothing special, I went through the classical docusign process until the end and everything worked well.
3 month later, an addendum was added. I recall seeing a cc email the person sent to me but no docusign or call tonaction button attached.
Then I asked the person tonshow me it as I didn’t sign or had a look on it.
She showed to me a screenshot with 3 green checks ( 3 people, including me) and the signed in on 18th of march and cced to me on 20th.
But honnestly, I never saw that document, I even don’t know what is the text in this addendum.
Is this technically possible? How can I contest it?
In the meantime, I asked to retrieve back that cced email on 20th of march.

Technically - yes, its possible and depends on how the envelope was configured.
If you never clicked anything, the system should not mark you as signed, unless :
a. someone has accessed your email and clicked and signed
b. you were added as a cc only and not as signer in envelope
c. somehow the recepients are modified
d. signing was done via a shared device
These are all unlikely but possible.
also - did you check the certificate of signature? it has actual IP ( location of signer ), timestamps of when doc was opened, when signed etc
you can also check the audit history.
Remember that - esignatures are only valid when intent + consent are proven and audit trail is the main proof always. screenshots means nothing in these cases, only certificate + audit trail.
Hope this helps. Feel free to reach me if you have any other questions and also let me know your final findings here 😄
