Customers rarely sign a contract without asking something first. In Tally Sign they ask on the document itself, pinned to the paragraph they mean, and you answer in the same place. Everything is kept with the document and summarized on the signing certificate.

The customer asks a question

On the signing page, the customer opens Questions & changes. The panel has two tabs: Conversation and Versions.
