Contract Management Pro supports parallel signing, enabling you to group signatories to sign a contract at the same time.

## What's new {#cmpro-rn-2026-09__contract-management-pro-rn-2026-09-new}

[Support for parallel signing](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=cncore-signature-workflow&version=australia&pubname=australia-employee-service-management&ft:locale=en-US){#cmpro-rn-2026-09__contract-management-pro-rn-2026-09-new-feature-1}
:   Enable parallel signing by assigning the same signing order to multiple signatories. Signatories with the same signing order receive signature requests at the same time and can complete their signatures independently.
    Signatory statuses update individually as each signatory signs, declines, or takes other actions.  
    Note:  
    Parallel signing is supported for electronic signatures.
