   It may take a few moments for your digital signature to be included in your document. A message will let you know when your document is signed and ready.

What happens next?

• Your advisor will be notified by email if you've rejected any one of the documents associated with the task.
• If you're the only person who needs to approve the documents, and you approve them, the task is moved to your completed tasks list. Your advisor will be notified by email.
• If others need to approve the documents, the documents are not considered completely approved until everyone has approved them. When everyone has approved all the documents within the task, the task is moved from your open tasks to your completed tasks list. If one person from the nominated signees rejects a document, then the task will have a status of rejected. Your advisor will be notified by email after the documents have been approved and if a document is rejected.
• You can see who has been assigned to approve a document from the tasks details. You can also track who has and hasn’t approved a document.

Occasionally new information may become available after you have approved a document, which results in you having to reject a previously approved document.

If you are the only person approving a document, you won't be able to change the status of an approved document. If it is necessary to do so, you'll need to contact your advisor.

If there are multiple people approving a document, you're only able to change the status of your approval or rejection, if the associated task is still open or in progress and not completely approved (i.e., not everyone who has been assigned to digitally approved the document has done so).
