What is meant by "delegated signing" in DocuSign?

"Delegated signing" in DocuSign refers specifically to the capability that allows one user to sign a document on behalf of another user. This feature is particularly useful in situations where the primary signer is unavailable, yet a timely response is required.

In practice, delegated signing facilitates workflow by ensuring that important documents can still move forward without unnecessary delays. This is accomplished by granting permission to an appointed delegate, who can execute the signature while ensuring that the transaction maintains its integrity and authenticity.

The other provided choices do not accurately represent the definition of delegated signing. While allowing multiple users to sign documents, providing temporary signatures, and creating signing teams can be functionalities within DocuSign, they do not encapsulate the core concept of one individual signing on behalf of another, which is the essence of delegated signing.
