Agreements are the foundation of every business.
When Zoho introduced Zoho Sign in 2017, our vision was to make signing documents effortless—anytime, anywhere. Since then, Zoho noticed a recurring challenge: most agreements undergo last-minute edits before the signing stage.
Traditionally, this meant switching back to a word processor, making adjustments, re-uploading, and resending the file—only to repeat the cycle if recipients requested changes. This back-and-forth slowed down the entire agreement process.
Today, Zoho shares a major step forward: a complete agreement workflow built right into Zoho Sign.
You can now:
Draft agreements directly
Make quick edits or annotations in-app
Set up your signing process
Collaborate seamlessly with recipients

And with AI-powered assistance, every stage of the agreement journey becomes more efficient and intelligent.

The New Agreement Journey
1. Draft agreements
Start from scratch or let AI do the heavy lifting. By integrating with OpenAI, you can instantly generate professional drafts and even save them as templates for future use. Just tell Zoho Sign what you need, and you’ll get a ready-to-use agreement in seconds.
2. Edit and annotate with ease
No more jumping between apps. Make last-minute corrections or add annotations directly within Zoho Sign—fast, simple, and convenient.
3. Configure the signing workflow
Set up the order and roles of your signers with flexibility:
AI-powered field detection saves even more time. Zia, our smart assistant, automatically identifies empty fields and places the correct signature, date, and text fields—so you don’t have to.
4. Collaborate with recipients
Smooth communication, right where you need it. Recipients can highlight specific text and leave comments directly in the document. You and your collaborators can reply, clarify, and make changes instantly—keeping the agreement process moving without unnecessary delays.
5. Sign the agreement
Recipients get multiple signing options—via email, SMS, or WhatsApp—and can rely on Zia’s AI features to accelerate the process:
Document summaries for quick overviews
Key term extraction to highlight crucial details
Ask Zia for instant Q&A about the agreement’s contents
At Zoho Sign, Zoho's mission is to simplify the way businesses handle agreements. With these new capabilities, Zoho is making the entire journey—from drafting to signing—smoother, smarter, and faster.
