Approval for Contracts Executed Offline

Feature Name: Approval for Contracts Executed Offline

Product Area: Approvals

Impact of Change: New Functionality

Roles Impacted: Legal teams, Compliance teams, Workflow administrators

Problem:

When contracts are executed offline (signed outside SpotDraft), uploading them and marking as "executed" automatically skips all pending approvals. This creates a compliance gap—there's no way to ensure legal validation before contracts are marked complete.

What's New?

We've added a new approval type that triggers when someone uploads an executed contract version. If you need legal or compliance sign-off before marking contracts as executed, even when they're signed offline - you can now enforce this validation step!

Key Points:

• Closes compliance gaps: Perfect for IPO prep, financial services, or any team needing audit-ready governance
• Invisible to standard flows: Only triggers when someone uploads an already executed version - your normal e-sign workflows are unaffected

How to Enable:

This feature is being rolled out gradually. If you are interested in getting this enabled on your workspace, please reach out to your Customer Success Manager.
