Envelopes
Organize envelopes with folders and understand status
Use the folders view, stat cards, and status labels to keep outbound envelopes organized.
6 min read
Envelopes in WoltSign live in folders with clear status labels. The folders view gives you stat cards and tabs so a 12-agent brokerage or HR team can see what is waiting on signers without opening every row.
Folders view vs list view
Open Envelopes from the sidebar. Toggle between folders view and list view depending on how you prefer to scan work. Folders view emphasizes tabs and summary stats. List view shows rows you can sort and filter.
Envelopes
Create, send and track all your document envelopes.
| Envelope | Type | Status | Activity | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Offer Letter — Jamie Lee | Hr | Pending | Sent to signer | ||
Vendor Agreement — Acme | Legal | Sent | Viewed by signer | ||
Engagement Letter — Q2 | Finance | Pending | Awaiting signature | ||
Permission Slip — Grade 4 | Education | Completed | Completed |
Create and select a folder
Create a folder when you need a new bucket, such as Leases or Onboarding. Select a folder tab to scope the table below. When you create an envelope, you pick the folder in the Details step.
Stat cards
At the top of the folders view, stat cards summarize Total, Completed, Pending, and Cancelled counts for the active folder or workspace scope. Use them as a quick health check before standup or a client call.
Status labels
Each envelope carries a distribution state. Common values you will see:
- Draft: saved in the wizard, not sent
- Ready: complete enough to send from detail
- Pending: sent, waiting on signers
- Sent: in flight to recipients
- Completed: all required signatures collected
- Cancelled: closed without completion
All Envelopes vs folder scope
All Envelopes shows every envelope in the workspace. Folder tabs limit the list to one bucket. Use folder scope for daily work and All Envelopes when you search across teams or months.
Row actions
Each row offers actions to view detail, edit, or delete. Deleting moves an envelope to trash depending on your workspace rules. View opens the detail page where you track signers.
Routes not in the main sidebar
The app may expose Team, Drafts, or Trash routes that are not pinned in the primary sidebar. Your daily path is Envelopes → folders or list. Draft envelopes also appear with Draft status in the main list.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Short answers to the questions teams ask most often about this topic.
What is the difference between Draft and Ready?
Draft means the envelope is saved but not sent. Ready means the wizard is complete and the envelope can be sent from the detail page.
Can I move an envelope between folders?
You assign a folder when you create the envelope in the Details step. Edit the envelope if you need to change folder assignment before send.
What does Cancelled mean?
Cancelled envelopes are closed and no longer accept signatures. Completed envelopes have all required signer actions finished.
Where do I see all envelopes regardless of folder?
Open All Envelopes from the folders view or list toggle to see every envelope in the workspace with folder labels on each row.
