Once you’ve locked the form four security features will be embedded onto each page. The security features are unique to each individually-created document and offer a level of protection and encryption of the information.
- There are several reasons why it is important to be mindful of the security features:
- Every time you lock the form new security images will be generated
- If you lock the form, unlock it to make changes, and then subsequently relock it, all of the previously-created signature pages become invalid
- The security features ensure that every party sees the same version of the document and that no pages are replaced or altered
- You can easily reassemble the document by making sure all the security features on each page match
- The security features make it easier to detect of any page has been tampered with
- Please note: All submitted forms must contain matching security images on all pages or they will be rejected
- Every time you lock the form new security images will be generated
- There are four security features that are generated at the bottom of a locked form:
Control image control number
Control barcode Content page numbers
- The page numbers are indicated at the bottom of each page. The page numbers are specific to the content of the document as well as each signature page.
This feature will make it easy to ensure the document has been assembled in the correct order and that all pages are included.
