### Set the sending order
26
-
-**[6] Send in Order**
27
-
-**If you choose:**
28
-
-**Yes**: Selecting this option will send the signing request to the first signer initially. Once the first signer completes their part, the next signer in the sequence will receive the request. This process continues until all signers have signed the document. This method ensures that the document is signed in a specific order.
29
-
-**No**: Selecting this option will send the signing links to all signers simultaneously. Every signer can sign the document at their convenience, regardless of whether other signers have completed their signatures. This method is faster but does not enforce any signing order among the participants.
30
-
Select the option that best suits the needs of your document processing.
31
-
### Auto reminder (feature only available for subscribed users)
32
-
-**[7]** Once you enable the auto reminder, a text field will appear allowing you to set the reminder for a specific number of days.
33
-
-**Remind once in every (Days)**: Here, you can set the number of days for the reminder.
34
-
35
-
Note: You can set a maximum of 15 reminders. For example, if the document completion time is 16 days and you try to schedule a reminder every day, the system will not allow it, as the reminder limit would be exceeded.
36
-
37
-
### Time to complete (days)
38
-
-**[8]** You can specify the number of days within which the document must be signed. For example, if you set the expiration period to 15 days, the created document will remain available for signing for 15 days from the date of creation. After this period, the document will expire, and the signer will no longer be able to sign it.
39
-
40
-

-**[9]** The BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) feature allows users to receive document completion emails at specified email addresses.
