Which statement best describes how DocuSign CLM supports eSignature flows?

• A. CLM only tracks signatures after they occur in an external eSignature service.
• B. CLM manages contract creation, routing, and approvals; eSignature can be invoked within or after the CLM process to obtain final signatures.
• C. CLM replaces the eSignature service with its own signing mechanism.
• D. CLM sends signatures via email without routing.

Answer: (B)

DocuSign CLM is designed to orchestrate the entire contract process and integrate with a signing service. The best description is that CLM manages contract creation, routing, and approvals, and it can invoke an eSignature process within the CLM workflow or after it to obtain the final signatures. This shows CLM’s role in coordinating when signatures happen and ensuring signed documents are captured back into the system, rather than handling signing itself. It isn’t just about tracking signatures after they occur, it doesn’t replace the eSignature service with its own signing mechanism, and it doesn’t simply email signatures without proper routing.
