    If you want the document to send for signature upon form submission, toggle the "💥 Send Agreement upon form submission?" field. If you want to preview the document before it is sent, submit the form without toggling this field.

    Upon form submission, you may or may not be redirected to the document you are preparing. This varies from firm to firm. If you are NOT redirected to the document upon form submission and you want to preview the document before sending it for signature, submit the form without toggling the " 💥 Send Agreement?" field. Then, navigate back to Lawmatics. Hover over the Assets tab and select the Documents page. If you opted to preview the document before sending it, follow the steps below to learn how to preview the document before sending it from the Documents page in Lawmatics.
