Audit Trail
Every agreement in Propper Sign comes with a complete activity record, automatically, with no setup required. If you ever need to prove that an agreement was signed, by whom, and under what circumstances, this is where that proof lives.
What Gets Recorded
Propper Sign records every meaningful action across an agreement's lifecycle:
| Category | What's captured |
|---|---|
| Agreement events | Created, sent, delivered, completed, voided, expired, declined |
| Document events | Uploaded, viewed, downloaded |
| Recipient events | Added, identity verified, signed, declined |
| Security events | Authentication attempts and outcomes |
For each event, the record includes who took the action, when (with timezone), the IP address, and the device they used.
Viewing the Audit Trail
- Go to Sign > Agreements.
- Open the agreement.
- Click the Audit tab.
Events appear in chronological order. You can filter by event type or by recipient name to find a specific action.

The Audit Record Is Tamper-Evident
Once recorded, audit events can't be altered or deleted. The record is designed so that any tampering would be immediately detectable, giving courts, regulators, and auditors confidence that what you present reflects what actually happened.
For the full picture of how this holds up as legal proof, see Document Validity & Trust.
Downloading the Audit Record
The audit trail is included in the completion certificate, a PDF you can download and store alongside the signed document. This is the format typically used for legal filings and compliance records.
