Set expiration window for smart file

Use expiration windows to prompt your clients to take action or manually expire a smart file when you're done with it

Updated this week

To ensure prompt client attention, you can set a smart file to expire after a specific time frame, or manually expire it when needed. Once expired, the client can still view the smart file but can't take any actions like answering questions, signing contracts, or making payments.


Set smart file's expiration window in advance

You can set a smart file's expiration window when creating a file template or sending a file to a client:

  1. While working on a smart file, select the Configure settings icon

  2. In the "FILE EXPIRATION" section, turn on Turn on file expiration

  3. Click the pencil icon to edit the expiration message

  4. Set when this file will expire

    1. If you're working on a template, the expiration window will also start based on your choice here

  5. Select Display expiration date in file if you want the expiration date to appear on the file

  6. Select SAVE & EXIT


Manually expire smart file

You can manually expire a smart file any time, while it's still in progress. Completed smart files can't be expired.

  1. Use the search bar to find the smart file you want to expire

    1. From the navigation menu, you can also select Projects > the project that holds the file you want to expire > the file you want to expire

  2. Select the Configure settings icon

  3. In the "FILE EXPIRATION" section, select EXPIRE NOW

  4. Select SAVE & EXIT
