+ Administration settings to enable or disable envelope usage +
+ +When envelopes are disabled, users are limited to single-document signing requests, ensuring that this feature is only available when it aligns with internal policies or operational requirements. + +#### Editing and managing an envelope + +Once an envelope is created, LibreSign allows users to manage both its **name and contents** in a straightforward way. + +Documents can be added, removed, or viewed directly from the envelope, making it easy to adjust the document set before or during the signing process. + +
+ Editing an envelope, changing its name and managing documents +
+ +These changes apply to the envelope as a whole, without breaking or resetting the signing workflow. + +#### Validation and transparency + +LibreSign also provides a clear and transparent validation view for envelopes. + +Each document inside the envelope keeps its own digital signatures and validation data, while the validation view makes it explicit that the documents belong to the same signing process. + +
+ Envelope validation view showing related signed documents +
+ +This helps users, auditors, and external systems understand the relationship between documents without introducing proprietary or opaque mechanisms. diff --git a/source/assets/images/posts/envelopes/admin-settings.png b/source/assets/images/posts/envelopes/admin-settings.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..23aa6b03 Binary files /dev/null and b/source/assets/images/posts/envelopes/admin-settings.png differ diff --git a/source/assets/images/posts/envelopes/banner.png b/source/assets/images/posts/envelopes/banner.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..d67ec43c Binary files /dev/null and b/source/assets/images/posts/envelopes/banner.png differ diff --git a/source/assets/images/posts/envelopes/cover.png b/source/assets/images/posts/envelopes/cover.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..d67ec43c Binary files /dev/null and b/source/assets/images/posts/envelopes/cover.png differ diff --git a/source/assets/images/posts/envelopes/edit-envelope.png b/source/assets/images/posts/envelopes/edit-envelope.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..d67ec43c Binary files /dev/null and b/source/assets/images/posts/envelopes/edit-envelope.png differ
