[Bug]: Document sent before pressing "send"

[janeadams]

Issue Description

I was editing the document (added all the signature lines) but then realized I needed to add text fields to the PDF before sending. I tried to exit the setup, and a dialog box popped up that said "This document has already been sent". When setting up, I had put myself in the Bcc line, but I never received a copy, so the only way to verify whether or not the form has been sent is to check with the signees. The document appears in my OpenSign Drive as if it has been sent, but there is nothing in the UI to indicate whether that is true or not.

@janeadams That message means the document has been finalized and can no longer be edited. I understand it might seem a bit misleading, so let me explain why it works this way.

Once you click “Next,” you’re given the option to either hit “Send” (which dispatches the signature request emails) or manually copy and share the signing links. The moment those links are generated, they’re live and can be used. So, if you go back from that screen, we have to assume you may have already shared them — which is why the document’s status changes to “Sent.”

This behavior is intentional to prevent any confusion or tampering once the links are potentially in circulation. I hope this makes sense.
