      Uploading a PDF

      Concord allows you to create a document directly from an imported PDF, and then add text, required fields, and signature fields to that document.

      Uploading a Word document

      If you select a Word document, you will have the option to choose to bring the document in two different formats:

      • Word Mode, which preserved the Word document's formatting
      • Live format, which you can edit with Concord's live editor

      Optional steps 

      After selecting the document to start with, you will be asked to add additional details. You can also select Skip for Now and complete this information after upload within the Summary panel. 

       

      Adding Title, Third-party, Folder, and Tags

      • Document Title: Title of the document
      • Third-Party: Who is this contract with?
      • Folder: Where should the document be stored and who should have access? 
      • Tags: Add tags to the document for easier search and reporting functionality

      This information can be adjusted later in the Summary panel.

      Adding Signers
