# How to Initiate the Signing Process by Sending the Prototype Back to the Author ?

## Only the final reviewer can initiate the signing process by sending the prototype back to the author.

1. Ensure the prototype is currently under review and assigned to multiple reviewers.

2. If you are not the final reviewer, complete your review but do not look for the 'Send to Author' option as it will not be available.

3. Only when all previous reviews are completed, login to the application as the final reviewer.
