Configure signature pause duration when modifying signatories

Configure the duration for which a signature workflow is paused when signatories are modified for an ongoing signature workflow.

Before you begin

The Modify Signatories and Resume Signature options enables a contract fulfiller to pause an ongoing signature process to add, remove, modify, or reorder pending signatories.

If the signature process is not resumed within the configured time limit set by the system property, changes made to the signatories are automatically reverted, and the signature process resumes from its previous state.

Role required: sn_cm_core.contract_admin
