Sign-off built into the document

Typed or drawn signatures with a permanent audit record

Specs, budgets, and launch plans all end with the same question: who approved this? Kapvel bakes approvals into every doc type. Request a signature from a teammate, anchor it to a page, a spreadsheet cell, a whiteboard element, or a slide, and the decision — with the signature image and timestamps — is stored permanently.

Anchored where it matters

Approvals are not a generic checkbox. Anchor a request to the exact artifact: the budget total in a spreadsheet, the architecture diagram element on a whiteboard, the final slide of a client deck, or an inline chip inside a page. Reviewers see precisely what they are signing.

Real signatures, real audit trail

Signers approve with a typed or hand-drawn signature. The record keeps requester, assignee, message, decision note, signature payload, and timestamps — an internal audit trail strong enough for compliance conversations, without per-envelope pricing.

In the flow of work

Requests appear in the assignee's inbox and the Approvals view with pending counts. Decisions notify the requester instantly. Because it all lives in the workspace, sign-off happens the same day instead of dying in email.

Frequently asked questions

Can approvals replace DocuSign?

For internal sign-offs — specs, budgets, design reviews, UAT acceptance — yes: signatures, audit trail, and anchored context, included in your plan. For legally binding external contracts, dedicated e-signature services remain the right tool.

What can an approval be attached to?

Pages, spreadsheet cells, whiteboard elements, and presentation slides. The anchor deep-links reviewers to the exact spot.

Is there an audit record?

Every request stores requester, assignee, message, decision, signature (typed or drawn), and timestamps, immutably attached to the document.
