A step-by-step guide to all of the options available in the Client Preview Settings' general tab.

Updating Preview Settings

To update your document’s look, click Show preview settings at the top right of the Document Preview page: 

General Settings Tab

Select language

To change the language of the footer and other un-editable areas of your document:

expand the Select language dropdown menu and pick an option from the list:

Select date Format

Depending on your prospect’s location, you may want to change how the date appears in your document. To update the format for all date variables in your document, expand the Select date format dropdown menu and pick an option from the list:

Warning: Changing the date format this way does not affect completed signature boxes; they are stuck in DD/MM/YYYY format for now.

Show Accept/Decline Buttons 

If you are sending a document that doesn’t need to be accepted, hide these buttons by clearing the checkmark next to Show accept/decline buttons:

Allow comments

To remove the Comment button from your document:

Clear the checkbox next to Allow Comments:

Use this to limit how your prospect can contact you or to push them to your chat widget.

Show total in footer

To avoid sticker shock, you can hide the total in your pricing table by clearing the checkbox next to Show total in footer:

This will keep your total in the pricing table while removing it from the document’s footer bar.

Show PDF download

Proposify has some great tools to help you see how your prospects interact with your document. Sometimes, though, your prospects may not give any data if they download the PDF copy of your document instead of viewing it in their browser.

To disable this feature and prevent this problem from reoccurring, clear the checkbox next to Show PDF download:

You can still send your prospects a PDF copy by downloading it from the Snapshot or Dashboard page. Keep in mind that your prospects can’t download PDF copies of your document until you re-enable this feature.

Password protection

If you’re concerned about who can access your document, add password protection by selecting the checkbox next to Password Protection, input a password, and then click the checkmark on the right or press Enter on your keyboard:

This will hide your document until a user inputs the correct password. Once you’ve set a password, you can send it to your prospect in a text message or an alternate email address.

To remove your password, just clear the checkbox next to Password protection, and you are good to go!
