Using the Document Hub

With Legal Signing 2.0, you can now utilize our Document Hub block to display documents tied to Signing Workflows directly within a page or post on your site. If a user is part of a Signing Workflow and views the page, they can see documents in a few different possible states:

Adding a Block to Your Page

  1. Open the page or post you want to display generated PDFs on.
  2. Click the plus sign to add a new block.
  3. In the Search for a block, type legal.
  4. Under Embeds, click on Legal Signing Documents. This will insert the Document Hub block.
  5. Click on the block to change the block options in the sidebar, there are several options available that are touched on in more detail in the next section including pagination and hiding or renaming certain columns.

If you’re not using the WordPress Block Editor, you can still utilize the block by using the Reusable Blocks Extended plugin to create sets of reusable blocks that can be inserted via traditional shortcodes.

Any documents tied to a Signing Workflow found that are associated with the logged in user will be displayed in the hub. If no documents are found, the hub will still load but display a message to this effect.

The hub will also not display documents that were never tied to a Signing Workflow, for the display of documents that were generated via Legal Signing feeds that did not have a Signing Workflow enabled in their settings, check out the regular Legal Signing block.

Notes:

Column Labels
