# Automatic Document Sync from DocuSign to Concord

## This article explains how signed documents in DocuSign automatically sync back to Concord, maintaining a complete contract lifecycle in a single system without manual intervention.

### **Prerequisites**

- You must have an active DocuSign integration with Concord
- The document must have been exported from Concord to DocuSign

### **How Automatic Document Sync Works**

1. **Document Signature in DocuSign** After all required parties have signed the document in DocuSign, the system automatically triggers the sync process.

2. **Automatic Return to Concord** The signed document automatically syncs back to Concord in PDF format.
3. **Status Update in Concord** The document status in Concord automatically updates to "Signed" once the sync is complete.
4. **Version History Preservation** The returning document updates the original document in Concord while preserving the complete version history.

5. **Audit Trail Updates** The Concord audit trail is updated with all actions from DocuSign, including:
   
     - Document exported to DocuSign
     - Document sent for signature in DocuSign
     - Document fully signed in DocuSign  
       ![Audit events](https://help.concord.app/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Audit%20events.png?width=403&height=424&name=Audit%20events.png)
6. **Notification to Stakeholders** When the document is fully signed and synced back to Concord, email notifications are sent to all internal users with access to the document.

### **Why This Matters**

Automatic document sync eliminates manual steps and provides several benefits:

- Prevents version control issues between systems
- Maintains Concord as the single source of truth for all contracts
- Eliminates the risk of human error in the document return process
- Creates a complete and unbroken audit trail of the entire contract lifecycle
- Ensures all stakeholders are promptly notified when contracts are fully executed

### **FAQs**

**Q: Can I view the DocuSign audit trail in Concord?** A: Yes, the audit trail in Concord is updated with all DocuSign events, providing a complete history of the document's journey through both systems.

**Q: Will I receive notifications when the document is signed in DocuSign?** A: Yes, DocuSign signatures trigger the same Concord signature email notifications when the agreement is fully executed.

**Q: Are access rights maintained when the document syncs back?** A: Yes, all access rights to the document in Concord are maintained after the signed document is synced back from DocuSign.

**Q: Can users without DocuSign integration see the audit trail?** A: Yes, the audit trail that contains DocuSign events is accessible to all users with access to the document, even without active DocuSign integration, for clarity and legal purposes.
