TraceX includes electronic signatures that comply with all regulatory requirements, including 21 CFR Part 11 (FDA). These signatures ensure every step of the review and approval process is fully traceable and audit-ready.

Signatures are timestamped and will appear in the final exported PDF in the correct order:

Author → Reviewer → Approver

This guarantees traceability and regulatory compliance.

⚠️ Important Notes:

• All comments must be resolved before approval. If not, the “Send for approval” button will be disabled.

• Approvers can then sign, approve, or reject the document.
