Structured data fields are by definition an abstraction of legal language. When in doubt, use citations, the AI chat, and the actual contract text to validate the structured data against your own interpretation.

Overview

The Signatures extraction identifies all required signatories and tracks their signing status.

What Gets Extracted

Summary Statistics

At the top of the section:

Signatory Details

Each signatory card displays:

Signing Status

The extraction determines signing status by analyzing:
  • Signature images or marks on the document
  • Date fields near signature blocks
  • “Signed” notations in the text
  • Electronic signature platform markers — e.g. a DocuSign, HelloSign, or Adobe Sign envelope ID stamped on the execution page, or a completed/signed status in the platform’s audit trail
Visual signatures (handwritten or digital) are detected even without accompanying text.
A signatory appears once even when the agreement is executed in counterparts, in duplicate, or with an appended companion contract signed by the same parties.

Duplicates and Signature Priority

When Royaltyport detects that multiple uploads are duplicates of the same agreement (e.g., different scans or versions), it keeps the version with the most completed signatures as the main agreement. Less-signed copies are marked as duplicates and linked to the primary version. This ensures the most complete, fully executed version of the contract is always the one you work with.

Editing Signatures

Open the signatures editor to manage the signatory list. Inside the editor you can add a new signatory, edit an existing one in place, or remove signatories before saving.

Add a signatory

1

Start a new signatory

Click Signatory to open the guided form.
2

Enter the details

Provide the signatory’s name and entity, mark whether they have signed, and — when signed — pick the signing date.
3

Review and confirm

Check the summary, then click Add Signatory to stage the new entry.

Edit an existing signatory

Click the edit icon on any signatory row to reopen the same form pre-filled with that signatory’s details. Adjust the name, entity, signed status, or signing date, then click Update Signatory to apply your changes.

Remove or restore a signatory

Click the X on a signatory row to mark it for removal. A removed signatory stays visible with an undo control so you can restore it before saving.
The signing date only applies when a signatory is marked as signed. Clearing the signed status removes the associated date.
Your changes are staged locally and are only written to the contract when you save the editor.
