Learn how to efficiently combine signed pages into finalized executed documents

Updated this week

This feature streamlines the process of assembling signed pages into a cohesive executed document. By automating the integration of signed pages you uploaded with the latest document versions, you can eliminate manual tasks, reduce errors, and accelerate the finalization of agreements.

Prerequisites: You're the Matter Admin or have the edit signing list permission for the specific list

Tip: Click on the image below to take a guided tour of the feature


Select documents to collate

Note: You can only collate documents:

  • that are PDF files

  • with a status of "Ready to collate"

  • with one or more signed page matched to it

  1. Find the list containing the documents you want to collate

  2. Go to the signing view.

  3. Select the documents you want to collate

  4. Press Actions > Collate

Legatics will combine the matched signed pages with the latest version of each document, creating a draft executed version for review.


Edit draft executed document

When your documents are combined, you can edit each document before the final version is created. Specifically, you can:

  • Remove pages

  • Rotate pages

  • Move pages

  • Add a date signed annotation

  • Add a text annotation

Caution: Your edits aren't saved until you press Collate.

Remove pages

Your underlying execution version is likely to include blank signature pages. To remove those pages (or any other unwanted pages:

  1. Press x on the page's thumbnail

  2. Press remove when you're viewing the page

Those pages will dim and a bin icon will appear over the thumbnail

If you made a mistake, you can reinstate the page by:

  1. Pressing the return icon on the page's thumbnail

  2. Pressing restore when you're viewing the page

Rotate pages

  1. Navigate to the misaligned page

  2. Click Rotate at the top of the page to adjust its orientation.

  3. Keep pressing until it's in the correct orientation

Reorder pages

Tip: When signed pages are added to the execution version, they are automatically positioned as follows:

  • After the last unsigned page detected by our AI

  • At the end of the document if no unsigned pages are detected

You may need to manually reposition the signed pages to ensure they are correctly placed within the document.

To move pages into the correct location:

  1. Press and hold the page’s thumbnail.

  2. Drag the page to its desired position.

  3. Release to drop it into place.
