Tips & Tricks: How to Upload an Attachment to a Transaction in OneSpan Sign

OneSpan Team,

Do you require your signers to provide additional supporting information to a transaction like a copy of their driver’s license or medical card? OneSpan Sign offers the ability for signers to upload attachments during the signing workflow. Senders can review the provided attachment and mark the transaction as complete.

In this blog, we’ll demonstrate how a sender can require the signer to upload an attachment to the transaction. We’ll also show how signers can upload an attachment to the signing workflow. Finally, we’ll show how the sender can review the attachment and approve the transaction.

Let’s take a closer look at how this feature works:

Start by creating a transaction using the ”New Transaction” button in the top right-hand corner.

Step 1

Next, enter a name for your transaction.

As the sender, you can specify attachments the recipient will be required to upload before completing the e-signature process.
Click ”Add”.

Step 5
