Add Signers
For each signer, provide:
- Name - Full legal name
- Email - Where they'll receive the signing link
- Role - Label like "Client" or "Provider"
Example setup:
| Name | Role | |

Signing Order
Choose how signers receive the contract:
Sequential - One at a time in order
1. Client signs first
2. Provider signs after client completes
