Audit trails on completed agreements
Completed agreements in Mallow include a visible audit trail that shows the full signing history, including when the document was sent, viewed, signed, and completed. You can review this history inside the agreement, and it is included automatically when you download or print a copy.
Open the completed agreement
Find the completed agreement from your Contracts list and open it to view the full document and audit trail.
In Mallow, go to the Agreements page.
Locate the completed agreement you want to review.
Click View document to open the agreement viewer.
You can also open a completed agreement from a public signing link if you are the signer. Both the authenticated view and the public link show the same completed document.
Review the audit trail
The audit trail appears at the bottom of the completed document. It is only visible after all parties have signed and the agreement status is complete.
Scroll to the bottom of the completed agreement.
Look for the audit trail section at the bottom of the agreement.
History timestamps use Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) in Mallow’s standard audit format: day, abbreviated month, year, then hours, minutes, and seconds (for example, 08 Jul 2026, 14:35:32 UTC). Signature timestamps in the completed document use the same format and appear with a Timestamp: label. Invalid or missing timestamps show as an em dash (—).
The audit trail includes:
Document Title — the name of the agreement.
Document ID — the unique identifier for the agreement.
Document Status — the current status, such as Signed.
Document History — a chronological record of:
Sent — when the agreement was sent to signers.
Viewed — when each signer opened the document.
Signed — when each signer completed their signature.
Completed — when the agreement reached final status.
The audit trail only appears on completed agreements. If the agreement is still in progress, cancelled, or rejected, this section is not shown.
Download or print a copy with the audit trail
The audit trail is included automatically in any downloaded or printed copy of the completed agreement.
From the completed agreement viewer, click Download Copy.
Your browser opens the print dialog so you can save the document as a PDF or send it to a printer.
The printed or saved copy contains the full agreement text, all completed fields, and the audit trail at the bottom.
