HOW IT WORKS

Request. Sign. Seal.
One connected record.

Three steps that used to mean printing, scanning, and emailing. In Constellio they happen on the same document, with the signature, the certificate, and the file history kept together.

  1. 01 Request

    Send any document for signature.

    Pick a file in Constellio or share it in Microsoft Teams, choose who signs, and send. Everyone works on the same copy, and you can see where each request stands.

    • From Constellio, Teams, or SharePoint
    • Multiple signers on one document
    • Internal teams and external partners
  2. 02 Sign

    Sign in three ways, on any device.

    Type, draw, or upload a signature. PDF, Word, Excel, and OpenDocument files are signed as they are, from a laptop, a tablet, or a phone.

    • Type, draw, or image
    • PDF, Office, and OpenDocument formats
    • Annotate and redact before signing
  3. 03 Seal

    Seal it, and let Constellio file it.

    Apply an ICPG digital certificate, or a “device” seal for official documents. The signed version is stored, classified, and fully traceable in the document’s history.

    • ICPG certificate or “device” seal
    • Stored and classified automatically
    • Complete history for every version

Every request, signature, and seal is written to the document’s history in Constellio.

ONE DOCUMENT, EVERY TOOL

Annotate, redact, sign, and seal.
Without leaving the document.

The tools your teams need before and after a signature live on the same file. Scroll through a contract’s last hour: the document stays put while each step leaves its mark.

  1. 01Annotate

    Comment without touching the original.

    Reviewers add notes and highlights on their own layer. The source document is never altered, so legal, finance, and the signer are all looking at the same file.

    • Highlights and threaded comments
    • Original document preserved
    • Works on PDF and Office files
  2. 02Redact

    Remove what shouldn’t leave the building.

    Black out personal or sensitive information before a document is shared or signed. Redactions hold on the shared version and are recorded in the document’s history.

    • Personal information hidden before sharing
    • Ready for access-to-information requests
    • Every redaction logged
  3. 03Sign

    Sign, alone or with others.

    Type, draw, or upload a signature and apply it in place. Several people can sign the same document, from Constellio or straight from a Microsoft Teams conversation.

    • Type, draw, or image
    • Multiple signers, one document
    • From Constellio or Microsoft Teams
  4. 04Seal & file

    Seal it, and the record files itself.

    Apply an ICPG digital certificate or a “device” seal. Constellio stores the sealed version, classifies it, applies your retention rules, and keeps the complete history alongside.

    • ICPG certificate or “device” seal
    • Version, classification, and retention applied
    • Complete audit trail

PRACTICAL USE CASES

Built for the way teams
actually sign.

From a Teams thread to an official sealed decision, Constellio keeps the signature and the record together, for people inside the organization and partners outside it.

In Microsoft Teams

Sign where the conversation happens.

Share a document in Teams, sign it in Constellio, and let the Microsoft 365 integration store the final version with the rest of the file. No downloads, no “which version is this?”.

For official documents

Seal official documents with an ICPG certificate.

Apply a digital seal with a “device” type certificate issued through the Québec government’s public key infrastructure (ICPG). Decisions, permits, and attestations carry proof of origin, inside and outside the organization.

COMPLIANCE YOU CAN PROVE

Every signature carries
its own proof.

A digital signature in Constellio is more than a picture of a name. The document is fingerprinted, the fingerprint is signed with a certificate, and the result travels with the file, so anyone can verify who signed, when, and that nothing changed since.

ICPG digital certificate

Certificates issued through the Québec government’s public key infrastructure identify who signed, with legal weight.

“Device” digital seal

Seal official documents on behalf of the organization rather than a person: decisions, permits, attestations.

Encrypted, audited infrastructure

Encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access, and SOC 2 Type II audited controls behind every signature.

KEY FIGURES

Less searching. Fewer incidents.
More signed and filed.

When signing, annotating, and redacting happen on the governed copy, teams stop hunting for the right version and stop emailing files that should never leave the repository.
