Within Microsoft 365 admin center: Add a search vertical to display search results

Once the Acrobat Sign connector for Microsoft search is created and you've verified the status of the new connection as Ready, you must create a Search vertical for Acrobat Sign. Search verticals are tabs on the Search result page that show results for particular sources. 

Once the setup is successful, you can view the new agreements and the existing agreements with new activities (such as signed, canceled, delegated, or declined) from within your Office.com, SharePoint, and Bing work platforms. Past agreements are not displayed in the search results of these supported Microsoft platforms. However, you may visit Adobe Acrobat Sign web to view your past agreements.

Note:

Can't view an agreement? Check if you meet the eligibility criteria.

Acrobat Sign Graph connector has access control levels for viewing an agreement that restricts who can view the agreements. You can view an agreement only if you meet the following criteria:

  • Have a valid Adobe Acrobat Sign account.
  • Your Microsoft tenant email address and the email address on your Acrobat Sign account are the same.
  • Any one or more of the following roles apply to you:
    • You're the sender of the agreement.
    • You're the recipient of the agreement that has no particular signing order. 
    • You're the recipient of the agreement with a signing order, and it's your turn to sign. 

Delete a connection

If an established connection isn't required anymore, you can delete it from the Acrobat Sign for Graph Connector admin page. To do so:

  1. Go here and sign in to the Acrobat Sign account using your account admin credentials.
    It displays the established connection details.
  2. From below the established connection details, select Delete.
  3. From the 'Deleting Acrobat Sign connector' dialog that appears, select Delete to confirm.

It deletes the connection. Note that once you delete a connection, all the existing agreements (adaptive cards) are lost/reset and cannot be viewed in the respective Microsoft products.
