Upload title documents to a Collab closing – Proof Help Center
When invited to a Collab closing by a lender using the Proof platform, organizations receive an email prompting them to upload and tag title documents—such as underwriter info and file numbers—via a secure transaction interface where certain fields are editable, after which notifications are automatically sent to the lender, signer, and contacts to proceed with the closing process.
Audience: Organizations
The short answer: When a lender invites you to a Collab closing, you'll receive an email to add your title documents before the transaction is sent to the signer.
How It Works
When a lender and title agency both have Collab enabled, they can complete closings together on the Proof platform. The lender initiates the closing, and Proof automatically sends you an email to add the title documents.
When you access the transaction, you have permission to edit only certain fields:
You can edit:
- Underwriter
- File number
- CC contacts
- Closing contacts
- Documents
- Notary meeting schedule
- Notary notes
- Signer message
The following items cannot be edited because they are set by the lender:
- Property address
- Loan number
- Secondary ID requirement
- Recipients
- Who will conduct the meeting selection
- Credible witness option

- 2.Click the Add title documents button in the email.
- 3.Sign in to your Proof account, or click Send verification email to open the transaction without a password.

- Documents can be in a single PDF file or uploaded as individual files.
- 6.Click Add # document to transaction when finished adding files.
- 7.Prepare and tag the documents.
- 8.Click Send transaction.
What to Expect After You Send
When you send the transaction, the following notifications are sent automatically:
- You receive a confirmation that the package was sent successfully.
- The lender is notified that the document package has been sent to the signer.
- The signer is notified that the closing is ready, including the notary meeting schedule.
- CC contacts and closing contacts are notified that the package was sent.
