# What's a Good Way to Manage E-Signature Requests for Legal Documents?

A good way is to connect every e-signature request to the matter it belongs to, tracking status from sent through signed within the same case record. On **Jestor**, this runs through integration with **DocSign** connected to case records.

E-signature requests tracked only within a separate signature tool, disconnected from the case itself, make it hard to see signing status alongside everything else happening on a matter.

## What disconnected e-signature tracking costs

- No single view combining signature status with the rest of a matter's activity
- Time spent switching between a separate tool and the case record
- Difficulty confirming whether a document was actually signed before proceeding
- Risk of moving forward on a matter before a required signature is confirmed

## How connected e-signature tracking works

- An e-signature request connects directly to the **matter** it belongs to
- Status, sent, viewed, signed, stays visible within the case record itself
- No switching between tools is needed to confirm signature status
- The signed document attaches automatically once completed

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- The connection gives a single view of signature status alongside the matter
- This removes the need to switch between a separate tool and the case record
- Confirming a signature before proceeding becomes direct, not a separate check
- This scales from occasional signature requests to a firm with high document volume

| Disconnected signature tool        | Connected to the matter               |
| ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| Requires switching between systems | Status visible within the case record |
