What Do Agreement Signing Statuses Mean?

For Sponsors and InvestorsBy Syndelo

What each agreement and signer status means and what you can do in each.

Every agreement shows a status badge at the top of its page, and each signer has their own badge in Signing Progress. Click Refresh Status to pull the latest status.

Agreement statuses

  • Draft: prepared but not sent. Sponsors can review files and values, then tick I Have Reviewed This Agreement and Its Recipients and click Send for Signature.
  • Awaiting Signature: sent. Signers sign in the listed order. The next signer sees Review & Sign.
  • Needs Attention: something went wrong with the signing provider. The error shows at the top. Sponsors can still cancel.
  • Completed: everyone signed. Download Signed PDF and Download Signing Evidence appear.
  • Declined: a signer declined to sign.
  • Expired: the request expired before everyone signed.
  • Canceled: a sponsor canceled it with a reason.

Good to know

  • Sponsors can cancel only while an agreement is Draft, Awaiting Signature, or Needs Attention.
  • For Declined, Expired, or Canceled agreements, sponsors can click Prepare Replacement to make a new draft. Completed general agreements (not subscription agreements) can also be replaced. Signed subscription terms need a separate amendment.
  • A replacement never erases the original. Both agreements link to each other.
  • Signing does not move money or create an investment balance.
  • Test agreements are not legally binding.
  • If the workspace is read-only, signing and refresh buttons are disabled.

Syndelo is in preview. eSign and investor payments require live provider setup; a demo or sandbox action does not complete a live transaction. Confirm availability for your workspace before relying on either.
