Document Properties

On the right-hand side of the document preview, there is a panel containing important information about the document, along with a couple of action buttons allowing you to further work with it or access even more detailed information.

The actions available depend on your account settings and rights, and the type of document you are viewing.

Detail

The Detail tab contains basic information about the document, (created by, date created, type, workflow status, tags, attachments, links, etc.)

Metadata

Availability: Enterprise

Metadata is the information about the contents and details of a document that is stored alongside each document in Circularo. Document metadata differs between document types and it can be accessed through the Detail tab by clicking on the Show custom fields button.

Comments

You can add comments to each document in the Comments tab of the detail view. These comments can be mandatory in some cases.

Comments can be either Public or Internal.

Public comments are visible to internal and external recipients (people outside of the organization) if the document is shared with them.

Internal comments are always only visible to members of your organization in Circularo.

In a comment, you can mention someone to send them a notification (@name), or reference a different document in the system using a hashtag (#documentname).

When you are preparing a document, and no recipients have been added yet, you can only add internal comments. If you share the document with another user, they will be able to see these internal comments. After recipients are added and the signing process is started, public comments become available as well.

Comments you don’t publish immediately will stay drafted in the comment box until you end your session, making sure you won’t lose your progress.

When processing documents, senders have the option to include a Public message for all recipients. This message will be available in the system as a Public comment.

Activity

The Activity tab contains the document's audit log. It displays all actions done to the document in chronological order from the most recent to the oldest, as well as who performed which action and when.

In this tab, you will be able to view previous revisions of the document and have the option to revert the document to an older version.

Once a signing process has started, documents can no longer be reverted.
