Box Sign as step before viewing file

Is there a way to require a signature (using Box Sign) from everyone who is invited to Preview a file? I.e. they need to sign in order to scroll down or click to view the file they were invited to. I do not want to share an open link to the file after they sign, which I know can be done via the auto-response after the signature is received. It has to be that they are only able to access the file after they sign the confidentiality agreement pertaining to the file they are about to view.

    Hi ​@ssuzuk05, 

    Welcome to Box Community, and we’re glad to assist with your collaboration query. 

     

    Box Sign does not offer a built-in feature that requires every invited user to sign a document before they can preview or access the file itself. The typical workflow is that users with appropriate permissions (Viewer or Editor) can access files or folders directly in Box, and signature requests are sent separately via Box Sign for signing agreements or documents.

     

    Hope it answers your question, and please let us know if you have follow-up questions.
