What steps are involved to enable and orchestrate e-signature within a CLM workflow?

• A. Automate the signing process with no reviewer steps.
• B. Disable e-signature to avoid external dependencies.
• C. Route the contract to signers in the workflow without mapping fields.
• D. Enable DocuSign eSignature integration, route the contract to signers, map sign-off fields, and capture final signed document.

Answer: (D)

Enabling e-signature in a CLM workflow hinges on integrating an e-signature service, routing the contract to the intended signers, mapping the signature and sign-off fields so they appear in the correct places, and ensuring the completed signed document is captured back into the contract record. The best approach is to enable the DocuSign eSignature integration, route the contract to signers within the workflow, map the sign-off fields so signatures align precisely, and automatically capture and attach the final signed document. This creates the signing ceremony inside CLM, maintains an audit trail, and ensures the signed copy is readily available for governance and downstream processing. Choices that skip field mapping or attempt to bypass signing capabilities would lead to incomplete or invalid signing, while disabling e-signature defeats the purpose of this automation.
