  4. When you save the PDF this will overwrite the one in your FYI - My Edits folder.

  5. In FYI, select the PDF from a list and click I am Finished Editing in the FYI drawer so it is available to other users for editing.

Note: If the PDF has previously been sent to a client, either through DocuSign, Adobe Sign, Annature or FuseSign, and the client has signed it electronically, the signed version of the PDF will have a workflow status of "Client Signed" and cannot be edited. Therefore, the Edit function will not appear when selecting a document with a workflow status of "Client Signed".

Using FYI Desktop App

  2. Click the arrow next to Edit and select Edit in FYI Desktop
    Note: If your Profile Settings is set to "Open Office using" and "FYI Desktop", you can click just the Edit button.
