# How a customer reviews and signs a quote

When you send a quote, the customer receives a link to a public quote page. On that page they see the full quote rendered exactly as it will print, along with a prompt at the top to review and sign, or to reach out to you with questions.

The page offers two buttons: Download as PDF, which lets them save a copy, and Sign. Clicking Sign opens a short agreement: the customer types their first and last name into the signature field, then clicks Agree & Submit.

By entering their name they agree that they have reviewed and approved the document, and that typing their name carries the same force and effect as a handwritten signature. Once submitted, the quote becomes Signed on your side.

Only sent, unexpired quotes can be opened and signed this way. While the quote is active, the bar at the top of the page shows **Valid through** with the final day whenever one is set. The customer can review and sign for the rest of that day. Afterward, the page explains that the quote has expired and asks the customer to contact your business. The Sign button is no longer available. Reactivating the quote gives the same link a new expiration date.

If a quote has been voided or is still a draft, the public page instead shows a "this quote is not available" message with your business's contact email, so customers cannot sign something you have not sent or have taken back.

You can preview exactly what the customer sees at any time from an unsigned quote using the View Sent Quote button.

> **Where to find it:** The customer opens the quote link they received. On your side, from an unsigned quote, click "View Sent Quote" in the top-right to see the same public page.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://learn.withessential.com/revenue/quotes/how-a-customer-reviews-and-signs-a-quote.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
