- Document metadata (subject, message, signing order, etc.)
- All document parties with their status
- Applied tags
- Custom field values
- Product tables with their resolved totals
- Document timestamps (created, updated, completed, archived)
Content blocks: content is null unless you pass expand=content. To poll a document’s status, leave it out. To read the content, pass expand=content or call GET /api/v1/documents/{id}/content.
Authorizations

A workspace that doesn't exist or can't be reached returns 403 WORKSPACE_ACCESS_DENIED.
