Upload files as letter templates

Templates are useful for sending the same request item to multiple clients rather than uploading them individually to each Client Profile.
For example, if you need multiple clients to sign the Terms of Agreement form or review instruction, then you can create and send the template to all clients at once. Once the letter template has been sent, clients can review or sign the document based on the template settings.
To create a letter template, you can upload an existing PDF document or create one from scratch in TaxCaddy.
