Tips & Tricks: How to Reassign Signing Privileges in OneSpan Sign

OneSpan Team,

Have you received an e-signature transaction that requires someone else’s signature? The Change Signer feature in OneSpan Sign gives flexibility to assign signing privileges to another person. If the transaction should be signed by someone else, signers can reassign the transaction to a different name and email address. With Change Signer, transactions can be signed in a timely manner by the appropriate people. 

Let’s take a closer look at how to use the Change Signer feature. 

How to Reassign Signing Privileges in OneSpan Sign
