Validate extracted values in Analyzer in Sign

Last updated on Aug 17, 2026

Review extracted values against their supporting source content and provide feedback when a result is correct, incorrect, incomplete, or missing.

When you open a document, Analyzer displays its extracted attributes in the Document Attributes panel. Validate these values when you need to confirm extraction accuracy and provide feedback about unexpected results.

Before you begin

Make sure:

  • You have permission to view the documents and attributes.
  • The attribute is already configured.
  • You have access to documents where the attribute is expected to return values.

Display the attributes you want to validate

Open Collections, and then select the collection containing the documents you want to review.

Select Adjust attribute view.

Select the attribute you want to evaluate.

Select Apply.

The table refreshes to display the selected attribute.

  • Extracted values appear in the attribute column.
  • Values that were not found appear as Not Found.
Collection with the Adjust attribute view panel open and an attribute selected.
Displaying the attribute in the table helps you identify which documents have extracted values before opening them for validation.

Validate an extracted value

Select a document to review.

The Document Attributes panel opens.

Each attribute displays either an extracted value or Not Found. Extracted values include numbered citations that link to supporting content in the source document.

Select a citation to review the extracted text and surrounding context.

Extracted attribute value with a numbered citation linked to supporting source content.
Citations let you compare the extracted value directly with the content Analyzer used to support it.

Determine whether the extracted value is correct.

Select:

  • Thumbs up when the value is correct.
  • Thumbs down when the value is incorrect, incomplete, or missing.
Extracted attribute result with thumbs-up and thumbs-down validation controls.
Validation records whether the extracted result matches what you expect from the source document.

Provide feedback for an incorrect result

When you mark a value as incorrect:

Select the attribute from the dropdown list.

Select one or more options that describe the problem.

Optionally, enter a brief note describing what you expected.

Submit the feedback.

Feedback panel for an incorrect extracted value with issue selections and a comment field.
Describing the type of error provides more useful feedback than marking the result incorrect without context.

Repeat the process for additional extracted values as needed.

When to validate values

Validate extracted values when:

  • A result looks inconsistent with the source document.
  • An expected value is missing.
  • A value appears incomplete.
  • You are checking extraction quality before relying on results more broadly.
  • You are evaluating how well an attribute performs across representative documents.

Validation is different from testing an attribute definition. Testing helps you refine how an attribute is defined; validation checks individual extracted results against the source content.
