Task guide

Review prospects, approvals, and activity

Approve or decline NDA requests, see who opened the OM and downloaded files, and turn that activity into CRM follow-up.

5 to 20 minutes per reviewFor deal Room owners and CRM users following up with buyersIntermediateLast verified October 5, 2026

Outcome

You will clear pending requests quickly, read buyer engagement accurately, and give every serious prospect a next step in CRM.

Navigation path

Deal Rooms > Open room > Prospects and Activity

Access

Prospect names and per-person activity need Email Required or an NDA access level. Approving, declining, and revoking need edit access to the room.

What you will accomplish

Two kinds of NDA requests

Pending requests and Prospects handle single-signer NDAs. Buyer groups with multiple signers are tracked in Multi-party NDAs; see Track multiple signers and release the files further down.

Before you start

Data, sources, and access to prepare

  • A Deal Room with Email Required or an NDA access level
  • Your approval criteria
  • At least one visitor or test visit

Prepare these details

  • Decide who qualifies for access
  • Know the statuses: Pending, Active, Declined, Revoked, Expired
  • Decide which activity deserves a CRM task or deal

Complete the task

  1. 1

    Open the prospect list

    Room > Prospects

    Select Prospects.

    Expected result: Identified visitors appear with their access type, engagement, and status.

    If this step does not work

    If the list is empty and says Anonymous access is active, switch the Access gate to Email Required or an NDA level.

    Deal Room detail workspace used to review prospects, approvals, and file activity.
    Review prospect requests and activity, make access decisions, and preserve a clear record of each approval.
  2. 2

    Inspect one identity

    Prospect row

    Review the prospect’s name, email, and qualification answers.

    Expected result: You can see who they are, how they got in, and how engaged they are.

    If this step does not work

    Compare the email with CRM before assuming a similar name is the same person.

  3. 3

    Review the signed NDA

    Room > Pending requests > Download signed NDA

    Download the signed NDA.

    Expected result: The executed NDA includes a signature certificate. A pending request can already have a completed signature.

    If this step does not work

    For older PDFs without placed fields, the signature appears only on the certificate page.

  4. 4

    Approve one pending request

    Pending request

    Select Approve.

    Expected result: The status changes to Active and the buyer gets their unlock link by email.

    If this step does not work

    Select Decline instead if the request does not qualify.

  5. 5

    Decline one pending request

    Pending request

    Select Decline.

    Expected result: After you confirm Decline, the status changes to Declined and the visitor is notified by email. Their signed NDA stays on file.

    If this step does not work

    Close the dialog to keep the request pending.

  6. 6

    Revoke existing access

    Prospect row

    Select Revoke access.

    Expected result: After you confirm Revoke, the prospect immediately loses access to the OM and all room files.

    If this step does not work

    Files already downloaded remain covered by the signed NDA.

  7. 7

    Review one activity event

    Room > Activity

    Read an activity row.

    Expected result: You see who viewed the deal room, viewed the OM, downloaded the OM PDF, or downloaded a file, and when.

    If this step does not work

    Treat an OM view and a file download as different signals.

  8. 8

    Create the next action

    Prospect row > Open CRM

    Add a task, note, requirement, or deal on the contact.

    Expected result: The contact timeline has an owned next step.

    If this step does not work

    Use a note rather than a deal while the buyer is still early.

Track multiple signers and release the files

Every buyer group’s NDA shows its status in Room > Multi-party NDAs. One person’s Signed doesn’t mean everyone has signed, or that you approved access. Once access goes out, each signer with file access also appears in Prospects, where you can revoke one person without voiding the whole NDA.

Awaiting recipient confirmation

What it means
The buyer’s details are in. No invitations are out and nobody has access.
What to do
Check the PDF, signers, and wording, then send

Waiting for signatures (1/3)

What it means
Some included signers haven’t finished. The count shows who has.
What to do
Check each signer; with One at a time, later roles wait their turn

Preparing executed PDF

What it means
Everyone signed and the final PDF is being built
What to do
Wait a moment; files stay locked

Awaiting access approval

What it means
The executed PDF is ready and needs your decision
What to do
Read the executed NDA, then approve or reject

Completed, access approved

What it means
Everyone signed, the PDF is ready, and access is approved
What to do
Eligible signers get their own access links while the room and listing stay available

Signer declined, replacement required

What it means
An included signer declined, so this NDA can’t finish
What to do
Void it and send a replacement

Access rejected or Voided

What it means
This NDA will never open the files
What to do
Keep it for the record; start a replacement if needed
  1. 1

    Check each signer

    Room > Multi-party NDAs > buyer row

    Select the buyer group’s row.

    Expected result: Each signer shows Awaiting signature, Viewed, Signed, or Declined, plus invitation and executed-copy email status.

    If this step does not work

    Viewed is not Signed, and an email marked sent is not proof it reached the inbox.

  2. 2

    Read the executed NDA

    Request > Download executed NDA

    Select Download executed NDA.

    Expected result: The PDF has every signature plus the signature certificate at the end.

    If this step does not work

    The button appears once Preparing executed PDF finishes.

  3. 3

    Approve file access

    Request > Approve materials access

    Select Approve materials access.

    Expected result: Each signer you marked for file access gets their own access link by email.

    If this step does not work

    The button stays off until everyone signs and the executed PDF is ready. With NDA – Auto Access there is no approval step; access goes out on its own once both are done.

    Once everyone signs and the executed PDF is ready, review it and approve file access for the buyer side.
    Once everyone signs and the executed PDF is ready, review it and approve file access for the buyer side.
  4. 4

    Reject file access

    Request > Reject access

    Select Reject access for a buyer group that doesn’t qualify.

    Expected result: After you confirm, the status changes to Access rejected and no files open.

    If this step does not work

    Close the confirmation to keep the request pending. Signatures stay on record either way.

  5. 5

    Resend an invitation

    Unsigned signer > Resend invitation

    Select Resend invitation for the signer who needs a new link.

    Expected result: A fresh invitation goes out and their previous link stops working.

    If this step does not work

    Wait a minute between resends. With One at a time, only the signer whose turn it is can be resent.

  6. 6

    Retry an executed-copy email

    Signer > Retry completed-copy notification

    Select Retry completed-copy notification.

    Expected result: The same executed NDA link is sent again. Signatures don’t change.

    If this step does not work

    If the first email may have arrived, a confirmation asks before sending another. If the link has expired, download the executed NDA from the room instead.

Check access separately from signing

  • Every included signer shows Signed
  • The executed NDA downloads and reads correctly
  • Your approval matches the room’s access level
  • Only the intended signers are marked for file access
  • The seller and other copy-only signers have no file access
  • Buyers open files with their own access link, not their signing link

Void and replace a sent NDA

Once an NDA is sent, you can’t edit its signers, PDF, or wording. To change any of them, or to restart after someone declines, void it and send a replacement.

  1. 1

    Void the sent request

    Request > Void NDA

    Select Void NDA.

    Expected result: A confirmation explains that signing links and file access will be revoked and past signatures kept.

    If this step does not work

    Check you have the right buyer group before confirming.

  2. 2

    Confirm the void

    Void NDA confirmation

    Confirm the void.

    Expected result: The request shows Voided. Its signing links and any file access stop working.

    If this step does not work

    Refresh the room after a connection error before trying again.

  3. 3

    Create the linked replacement

    Voided request > Create replacement request

    Select Create replacement request.

    Expected result: A new request appears as Awaiting recipient confirmation, marked as the replacement for the original.

    If this step does not work

    The room needs an NDA access gate and multiple-signer NDAs turned on to create it.

    A voided NDA keeps its history and offers a replacement request for fresh signatures.
    A voided NDA keeps its history and offers a replacement request for fresh signatures.
  4. 4

    Review the replacement roster

    Replacement request > role cards

    Check every included role and signer.

    Expected result: The corrected signers are ready to sign fresh.

    If this step does not work

    No prior signature is copied into the replacement. Everyone included signs again.

  5. 5

    Send after fresh review

    Replacement request > Confirm recipients and send NDA

    Send the replacement with the confirmation button.

    Expected result: New invitations go out for the replacement NDA.

    If this step does not work

    Fix any message shown before sending. Later changes need another void and replacement.

What a void does and doesn’t do

Void NDA stops future signing and file access for that request. It doesn’t erase signatures already given or pull back files already downloaded. You can still download the executed NDA from a voided request.

NDA requests also wait in CRM > Leads alongside your other inquiries. Both places act on the same request, so a decision made in one shows in the other.

Troubleshooting and next steps

Approve is missing.

Likely cause: The room uses NDA – Auto Access, the request is no longer pending, or you do not have edit access.

  1. Check the Access gate.
  2. Refresh the room.
  3. Ask the room owner to review the request.
Activity has no person attached.

Likely cause: Free Access visits are anonymous.

  1. Switch to Email Required or an NDA level for per-person tracking.
  2. Avoid matching anonymous activity to a guessed contact.

Final verification

  • Every pending request has a decision
  • If you declined or revoked access, it was the right person
  • Activity is read by event type
  • The CRM contact matches the room prospect
  • Serious buyers have an owner and due date for the next step
  • For multiple signers, every signer shows Signed and you read the executed NDA before approving
  • No blocking warning, failed status, or unresolved validation message remains in the completed workflow.
