Microsoft Entra B2B provides authentication and management of new guests. External signers or recipients are considered as guests within your tenant. To be able to send requests to new signers outside your organization, you need to enable [Microsoft Entra B2B integration for SharePoint and OneDrive](/sharepoint/sharepoint-azureb2b-integration). Consider whether this meets your compliance and security requirements when enabling eSignature.

If a guest user is deleted from the tenant while the request is still ongoing, they will no longer be able to access the request document or the final signed document. In such cases, you will need to resend the eSignature request. Before deleting a guest user, ensure they are not involved in any ongoing requests. This setting doesn't affect your existing Azure Active Directory guest users.

### Authentication

External recipients might need to authenticate before they're able to access a document for signing. The type of authentication required by the external recipients depends on the configuration for guests at the SharePoint level or at the tenant level. Additionally, if the guest belongs to an organization with a Microsoft 365 tenant, it's possible for their organization's setup to affect their authentication experience when attempting to sign the document. For more information, see [Collaboration with guests in a site](/microsoft-365/solutions/collaborate-in-site).

Certain [conditional access](/entra/identity/conditional-access/overview) might determine whether external recipients (signers outside of your organization or Microsoft 365 tenant) are able sign a document. Depending on the admin setup, external signers might not be able to access and read the document for signing. In some other cases, they might be able to access the document for signing, but the signing operation is unsuccessful. One common way to resolve this is to add the **Microsoft eSignature Service** to the list of approved apps via the Microsoft Entra admin center.

At the end of the signing process when all required parties have signed, a copy of the signed document is automatically saved to SharePoint. The signed document is saved to a provider-specific folder of a special **Apps** folder in SharePoint. Every document library has a provider-specific folder where all documents signed by using that provider are saved. The signed document will be stored in the folder path *Document library\Apps\Signed documents\Provider*.
