Configure CC events in audit reports - New

Last updated on Aug 28, 2026

Control whether CC notification activity appears in audit reports.

Adobe Acrobat Sign can include CC notification events in audit reports when your organization needs an audit record showing that CC recipients were notified.

By default, CC notification events are not included in audit reports. This protects customers that use CCs to notify internal teams, repositories, or process owners that should not be exposed in an externally shared audit artifact.

Controls

Include the notification events for CCs in the audit report

When enabled, Acrobat Sign includes qualifying general CC and per-recipient CC notification events in the audit report.

When disabled, CC notification events are not included in the audit report.

Include the notification events for automatic CCs in the audit report

When enabled, Acrobat Sign includes qualifying automatic CC notification events in the audit report.

This control applies only when CC notification events are enabled for the audit report.

How CC audit events work

When CC audit events are enabled, Acrobat Sign records qualifying CC notification events with a timestamp. The audit record identifies the CC recipient and records that the notification was sent to the recipient as a CC.

The audit report can include events when CC recipients are notified of the agreement and when CC recipients are notified that the agreement has completed.

CC completion notifications do not include the audit report because the audit report has not been generated and sealed when the CC notification is sent. Existing group configuration determines whether the CC completion notification includes the signed agreement.

CC types

CC type Audit behavior when enabled
General CC Initial and completion notification events can appear in the audit report.
Per-recipient CC The notification event can appear when the recipient-specific CC is notified, plus completion where applicable.
Automatic CC Completion notification events can appear only when the automatic CC audit option is enabled.
