Overview
DocuSeal is an open-source document signing and management platform. It allows you to upload PDFs and other digital documents and mark them up to define the fields and signatures needed. Afterwards, you can send out signing requests to all relevant parties and managed the lifecycle of the signature process from within a centralized hub. DocuSeal can be deployed to your own infrastructure and configured to use custom email messaging to make sure it fits your organization's needs.
