# Offline Contract Signing

Measure Contracts can be signed offline for many reasons. Measure allows you to bring these contracts into the simplified contract workflow.

**Offline signing flexibility**: When customers choose to sign contracts offline, Measure provides seamless integration capabilities to incorporate these executed documents back into your automated workflow.

## When to Use Offline Signing

There are many scenarios where offline signing makes sense for your business:

* **In-person meetings**: Contracts signed during face-to-face negotiations or on-site visits
* **Alternative signing methods**: Using wet signatures, digital signing platforms outside of Measure, or industry-specific signing requirements
* **Legacy processes**: Integrating with existing contract workflows that were signed before implementing Measure
* **Special circumstances**: Cases where digital signing through Measure isn't available or practical

## Offline Contract Processing

**Manual execution tracking**: The system supports marking contracts as signed offline, maintaining workflow continuity even when signatures occur outside the digital platform.

**Document upload capability**: Optional PDF upload functionality allows you to attach the signed contract document for complete record-keeping, with flexibility to add documents immediately or at a later time.

## Workflow Integration

**Simple workflow integration**: The offline signing process maintains full integration with Measure's contract management system. You can mark a contract as signed offline and optionally upload the executed PDF to maintain a complete audit trail of your agreement.

Once marked as executed, the contract will progress through the payment collection stage (if enabled) and then to the [appropriate post-signature workflow](/pages/guides/contracts#contract-lifecycle). The contract will automatically create the associated subscription with the terms defined in the agreement, ensuring your records stay in sync even when signing happens outside the platform.
