Verifying a document that has been signed with a digital signature ensures that the document has not been altered since the last signature was applied and the digital certificate used for the signature has not expired. Digital certificates expire on a date set by the issuing certificate authority; see your OnBase administrator for more information on the certificates used in your solution.
To verify a document, right-click an open document in the Document Viewer or a document in a Document Search Results list, and select Digital Signatures | Verify Document.
