E-Signature Order Not Working

I utilize Adobe Sign every day for our procurement process. I am typically able to delegate signing to authorized signers in a specific order.

 

Often times team members need to sign more than once on the same document - but there are other signatures required before they can sign again. This means one signature field is available at a time in the predetermined order (it's a work process). I usually have no issue with this.
 
This week, each signer has access to multiple fields at once. When I tried to resolve this issue with Adobe, it told me to contact my dedicated Acrobat representative from my IT department. My IT department didn't understand the issue so I figured I'd come here.
 
Has anyone experienced this issue? If so, could you please help me resolve this issue?

I contacted Adobe support, and they seem to have a hard time believing that documents could be routed this way.  Was told several times "that's not how adobe sign works".  I then created a screen recording of me routing a document and screen shots of how it asks for two spots to be signed. 

I also sent a recently completed file showing the time/date stamp of when the signer received, signed, etc. to show one person with the same email address signed 3 separate spots, 3 separate times. I thought that would help clear things up but was once again told "that's not how adobe sign works" .  So for now I was informed they would investigate.

Thank you so much for looking into this! You made it past my initial roadblocks, so I appreciate your time and help. Hoping they can resolve this ASAP.

I think I found the solution, but all users/signers will have to apply the following change.  

When they receive a document to sign, it will show the "new" version and ask them to sign all spots, have them navigate to the top right corner there is a circle icon with a "?" click this icon and select "switch to classic experience" after this the file will revert to how it looked a few days ago and will only require one signature at a time.

Please try it and let me know if it works for you and your team.

 


Thank you so much!!!!! Yes, that definitely helps!!!

I am an IT person at a company, and I just came here because we are experiencing the same issue.  We have been using Adobe Sign since 2020; this has happened for the first time.  I thought it was a user error, however it occurred when I routed the file as well. 

If I resolve the issue I will update, but I have a feeling many people will be reporting this issue.

Good morning, I have the same issue from yesterday. It is not anymore possible to delegate signing to authorized signers in a specific order. Also, the template has a different color. It is affecting our permit to work signature process.
