# Setting a signing policy

## How to set a company signing policy

If you're using Connectworks for document signing it's best practice to set a company signing policy.

To do this simply edit the company profile and select from the options listed in the screenshot below.

For documents distributed for signing via Connectworks, once the signing policy has been met the document will update to show **signing complete** even if the document has **not** been signed by all the parties it was distributed to, the status will update as soon as the signing policy has been met.
