What happens to non-signed documents in DocuSign after a set duration?

In DocuSign, non-signed documents have a specific lifecycle that includes expiration. When documents are not signed within a predefined duration, they expire. This means that the documents will no longer be accessible for signing or any further actions. The expiration feature is important for maintaining workflow efficiency and ensuring that stale documents do not linger in the system, which could lead to confusion or outdated agreements being referenced.

This approach also helps organizations manage their document storage effectively, as expired documents can be clearly identified and separated from active documents. It encourages prompt signing and reduces the administrative burden associated with keeping track of pending documents that may not be needed anymore.
