In the sidebar, open **Agreements**, then **Signing**. The page address is `/agreements/signing`. Normally Nova emails or texts each signer their link. When a customer never got it, wants it by text instead, or is standing in front of you, generate the link yourself and hand it over.

## Before you start

- Your role needs permission to view the **Signing** page, and permission to manage signers or resend signing links. Without the second, **Manual delivery link** does not appear on the signer's card.
- The agreement must already be issued; the signer needs a session under **Signer sessions**.
- A fresh manual link cancels every earlier link for that signer. Only the newest one works.

## Steps

1. On **Signing**, open the agreement (see [[track-agreement-signing]]). The same **Manual delivery link** panel is also on the agreement's own page.
2. Under **Signer sessions**, find the signer and look at **Manual delivery link** at the bottom of their card. The text there explains what the signer will have to do when they open it, for example enter a code sent to their email.
3. Press **Generate manual link**. If the signer was already sent a link, the button reads **Generate fresh link**; if you generated one earlier in this visit, it reads **Regenerate link**.
4. Nova shows the link under the buttons. Press **Copy link** and paste it into a text or email, or press **Open link** to open it in a new tab on this device so the customer can sign right here.

## What you see

- A note in the panel warns when the new link cancelled earlier ones for this signer session.
- The signer's card updates its delivery attempt count and, once they open it, the open count and opened time.
- **Execution progress** on the right shows the signature land when they finish.

## If something looks different

- **Manual delivery link** says manual links are unavailable: the session is complete or revoked. Nothing more is needed from that signer.
- The signer says the link does not work: you may have generated a newer one since. Send the latest, or press **Regenerate link** and send that.
- **Signer sessions** says sessions will appear after delivery starts: the agreement is scheduled to send later. Wait for that time, or change the schedule on the agreement.
