Mock Drafts
Use a Mock Drafts 2008 template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What mock drafts are
Mock drafts are working versions of proposed documents used to review language, assign responsibilities, and prepare a final record before execution. With signNow, a sender uploads the draft, reviews automatically detected fillable fields, places signature and date fields, and sends the document to designated recipients. Signers review the displayed content, provide electronic signatures where authorized, and receive a completed copy. The audit trail records signing activity, including timestamps and actions. For eligible U.S. transactions, ESIGN and UETA recognize electronic signatures when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention requirements are satisfied.
Who uses mock drafts
Legal services
Legal teams use mock drafts to circulate proposed agreements, capture internal approvals, and preserve a clear signing record before finalizing transaction language.
Business operations
Real estate, construction, and finance teams use mock drafts to coordinate proposed terms, collect approvals, and organize supporting documents before execution.

Legal standing of mock drafts
A mock draft becomes useful evidence when the final record shows signer intent, electronic consent, attribution, and reliable retention and reproduction. ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. ch. 96, and applicable UETA provisions support electronic records for eligible U.S. transactions. Wills, codicils, testamentary trusts, court orders, and specified family-law documents remain excluded.

Platform requirements for mock drafts

Browsers Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge Desktop systems Windows and macOS desktop access Mobile apps signNow apps for iOS and Android
Organizations managing mock drafts across teams should control administrator permissions, device access, and user provisioning. API, SSO, advanced authentication, and regulated workflows depend on the selected signNow plan and configuration. Confirm that retention, access, and export policies match the underlying document and applicable U.S. requirements before deployment.
Key features for mock drafts
signNow provides document preparation, signer delivery, evidence capture, and record-management features that fit a mock-draft review and execution workflow.
Field preparation
Upload a mock draft and review automatically detected fields before assigning signature, date, initials, and text fields to the correct recipients.

Mobile signing
Review and sign from supported desktop browsers or signNow mobile apps when mock-draft work occurs away from an office.
Access controls
Apply role-based access and administrator controls to limit who can prepare, send, sign, or retrieve mock-draft records.

Mock-draft troubleshooting
These answers address field placement, signer access, plan selection, electronic-signature validity, audit evidence, and protected information in mock-draft workflows.
Upload the original mock draft again and compare its pages with the detected fields. signNow’s field placement still requires human review, especially for tables, handwritten annotations, scanned pages, and draft clauses that changed after upload.
Use signNow’s signer settings to confirm each email address, role, signing order, and required field. A recipient who receives a draft but has no assigned fields may only be able to view or decline it.
The Business plan includes legally binding eSignatures, templates, audit trails, and mobile apps at $8 per user per month when billed annually. Business Premium adds bulk send, while Enterprise adds advanced signer authentication.
For eligible U.S. transactions, ESIGN and UETA support electronic signatures when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention are established. Review exclusions, including wills and court orders, before relying on an electronic mock draft.
Use signNow’s audit trail and certificate of completion to preserve signer actions, timestamps, and document history. Store those records with the final mock draft according to the underlying record’s governing retention rule.
If a mock draft contains protected health information, use a signNow configuration with HIPAA compliance and a business associate agreement. Limit recipients and confirm the workflow protects access, storage, and disclosure requirements.
