# Using Ready-Sign Links

export const InlineImage = ({src, alt = "", height = "1em"}) => {
  return <img noZoom src={src} alt={alt} style={{
    display: "inline-block",
    verticalAlign: "middle",
    height: height,
    width: "auto",
    margin: "0"
  }} />;
};

<div className="article_labels_list" style={{display: 'none'}} dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: "End User , Box Sign , Article , New , Product Utilization , Instruction"}} />

Box's ready-sign link feature allows you to create fillable, signable templates accessible through a shareable hyperlink or embedded on a website, enabling multiple users to easily complete signature requests. The template should need meet certain requirements to be leveraged as a ready-sign link.

<Frame>
  <iframe className="w-full aspect-video rounded-xl" src="https://players.brightcove.net/6291496955001/VkP5RdZVu_default/index.html?videoId=6370298677112" title="Video player" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowFullScreen />

Use this link when you want to post a signature request on a public form — such as an email, social media post, or web page — without knowing who the signers will be. Example use cases include:

* Waivers or release forms
* Applications
* Enrollment forms

**Important:** Ready-sign links do not currently support multi-factor authentication or other signer verification features.

When a recipient uses the link to access the signature request, Box prompts this recipient to provide an email address and sends this recipient an email notification with a unique access code. The recipient can then view the signature request in one of the following ways:

* Use the unique access code.
* Click the **Resume Signing** option in the email.

<Note>
  **Note:** The ready-sign link feature is limited to **Enterprise plus and Enterprise Advance** customers and not available to Box Verified Enterprises. To learn more about Box Verified Enterprises, click [here](https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/4401823156883).
</Note>

## Configuration at Admin level

**As a Box Admin, configure a ready-sign link:**

1. From the **Admin Console**, go to **Enterprise Settings** -> **Box Sign**
2. In the **Box Sign** tab, go to **User Permissions,** select **Edit Configuration** under the **Ready-Sign Links** section
3. Within the **Configure Ready-Sign Links menu**, you can:
   * Disable for all managed users
   * Enable for all managed users
   * Enable for select users and groups
   * Enable for everyone except select users and groups

</Frame>

Additionally, you can configure the **Email validation for the ready-sign link initiator,** where you can enable or disable this additional validation for managed users or for selected ones.

The **Email validation for the ready-sign link initiator** is an extra step to verify the first or single recipient before they start the signature request. As the Box admin, you can configure the following settings in the Admin Console:

* **Enable email validation** (default):\
  Ensures that all ready-sign links created within your Box enterprise require email validation, which means that **the first** (or only) recipient will receive an email **before** gaining access to the signature request to complete it.
* **Disable email validation**\
  Skips the email validation/access code requirement for any ready-sign links created within your Box enterprise.
* **Allow ability to disable email validation**\
  Provides options to allow for senders to control this feature configuration at a user level:
  * **All users** (default) – All managed users will be able to toggle the **Require email validation** option off or on for each ready-sign link created in the ready-sign **l**ink settings.
  * **Select users and groups** – Select users and groups will be able to control email validation in the ready-sign link settings.
  * **All users except for selected ones** – Identified users and groups will not be able to control this feature in the ready-sign link settings (i.e. The **Require email validation** option will be disabled for them).

Once you have configured the link, click **Copy** to use the link.

## Signing and managing ready-sign links

Once a recipient initiates the ready-sign link, they will be prompted to provide their email address and, if applicable, additional email addresses for subsequent recipients.

<Frame>
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/product-docs/NoMCwVPT-KC7a0Gv/images/box-sign/42412823271187.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=NoMCwVPT-KC7a0Gv&q=85&s=0e61029b6d1e1bc5e107c4a2d7c32898" alt="" style={{ width: "250px", maxWidth: "100%" }} width="1232" height="840" data-path="images/box-sign/42412823271187.png" />
</Frame>

If the **Require email validation** setting was enabled, then the initiating recipient receives an email with an access code to access the request. Alternatively the recipient can click **Resume Signing** in the same email to gain access to the request. No validation is required if the setting is disabled.

</Frame>

All other recipients will receive an email notification to access and complete the signature request.

If you are the owner of a Box Sign template used in a ready-sign link, Box enables you to see the status of those signature requests.

**To see the status of signature requests initiated via ready-sign links with a template you own:**

1. From your Box account, go to **Sign** -> then **Sent Requests**
   * Box displays a list of sent signature requests that use your template, including those sent as Ready-Sign links.
2. At the top of the signature request list, you can apply filters to sort the requests:
   * **Method** to look for ready-sign links, and
   * **Status** to check the progress of the request
