Connecting e-signature tools to internal contracts means a contract's signature status stays tracked as part of the same record that holds its version history and approval — not managed separately in the signature tool alone. In **Jestor**, this combines version-controlled contracts with integrations like **DocSign**.

Contracts that go out for e-signature often "disappear" from internal tracking until someone remembers to check the signature tool directly — connecting the two removes that visibility gap.

## What gets lost when signature tracking is separate

- No visibility into signature status from within the contract's own record
- A separate login required just to check whether a document was signed
- The final signed copy not automatically reattached to the original contract record
- No single history spanning drafting, approval, and signature

## How connected e-signature tracking works

- A contract ready for signature can connect to a tool like **DocSign** as part of the workflow
- Signature status can be tracked directly on the contract's own record
- The signed document can attach back to the original record, depending on configuration
- Version history, approval, and signature status stay in one continuous record

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- DocSign is a confirmed integration, not a theoretical capability
- Contract version history and signature status live in the same place
- No separate login required just to check on a pending signature
- One continuous record spans the contract's entire lifecycle

| Contract stage               | Where it's tracked                |
| ---------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| Drafting and version history | Contract record                   |
| Signature status             | Same record, connected to DocSign |

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Which e-signature tool is confirmed to integrate?** DocSign is confirmed; check current details at [jestor.com](https://www.jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

**Does the signed copy return to the contract record automatically?** That depends on configuration, but it's supported.

**Does this replace legal review of the contract?** No, it tracks status; legal review still applies as needed.
