External approvals in ECM with secure sign-offs, expiring links, audit trails, and controlled document sharing for enterprise workflows. External Approvals in ECM: Secure Vendor/Customer Sign-off Without Chaos (2026) External Approvals in ECM: Secure Vendor/Customer Sign-off Without Chaos (2026) Problem-driven introduction External approvals should be simple: send the document, collect feedback, get sign-off, and move forward. In reality, it often becomes a slow, risky chain of emails, file versions, screenshots, and “final_final_v7.pdf” attachments. Vendor contracts sit in inboxes for weeks.
