sending doc to people to e-sign

Do you have a DocuSign account? That is much better for having people sign documents. But if you need to use Box, it might be better to send them a link to the file that is in Box. When you see the file in the folder, if you hover your mouse over it, to the right is a link icon. If you hover over the link icon, it says "Copy Shared Link." Then you click on that, and there are various levels of people who can access it (people in your company or anyone with the link, etc.), which you can set. Then you just copy the link and paste it into an email to them.

Help! I am trying to get this doc out to people who need to sign. I followed everything in the article suggested, but the “Send Request” button is all greyed out and unresponsive.
