title: V2 Editor
description: Embed envelope creation and editing directly in your application.
---
import { Callout } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/callout';
V2 editor components allow your users to create and edit envelopes without leaving your application. Envelopes are the unified model for documents and templates in the V2 API.
<Callout type="warn">
Embedded editor is included with [Enterprise](https://documen.so/enterprise-cta) plans. It is
also available as a paid add-on for the [Platform Plan](https://documen.so/platform-cta-pricing).
Contact sales for access.
</Callout>
## Components
The SDK provides two V2 editor components:
| Component | Purpose |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------ |
| `EmbedCreateEnvelope` | Create new envelopes |
| `EmbedUpdateEnvelope` | Edit existing envelopes |
---
## Presign Tokens
All editor components require a **presign token** for authentication. See the [Editor overview](/docs/developers/embedding/editor) for details on obtaining presign tokens.
<Callout type="warn">
A presigned token is NOT an API token
</Callout>
---
## Creating Envelopes
Use `EmbedCreateEnvelope` to embed envelope creation. The `type` prop determines whether the envelope is created as a document or template.
```jsx
import { EmbedCreateEnvelope } from '@documenso/embed-react';
const EnvelopeCreator = ({ presignToken }) => {
return (
<div style={{ height: '800px', width: '100%' }}>
<EmbedCreateEnvelope
presignToken={presignToken}
type="DOCUMENT"
externalId="order-12345"
onEnvelopeCreated={(data) => {
console.log('Envelope created:', data.envelopeId);
console.log('External ID:', data.externalId);
}}
/>
</div>
);
};
```
To create a template instead of a document, set `type` to `"TEMPLATE"`:
```jsx
<EmbedCreateEnvelope
presignToken={presignToken}
type="TEMPLATE"
externalId="template-12345"
onEnvelopeCreated={(data) => {
console.log('Template envelope created:', data.envelopeId);
}}
/>
```
---
## Editing Envelopes
Use `EmbedUpdateEnvelope` to embed envelope editing:
```jsx
import { EmbedUpdateEnvelope } from '@documenso/embed-react';
const EnvelopeEditor = ({ presignToken, envelopeId }) => {
return (
<div style={{ height: '800px', width: '100%' }}>
<EmbedUpdateEnvelope
presignToken={presignToken}
envelopeId={envelopeId}
externalId="order-12345"
onEnvelopeUpdated={(data) => {
console.log('Envelope updated:', data.envelopeId);
}}
/>
</div>
);
};
```

## Feature Toggles
V2 editor provides rich, structured feature toggles organized into sections. Pass a partial configuration to customize the editor experience — any omitted fields will use their defaults.
```jsx
<EmbedCreateEnvelope
presignToken={presignToken}
type="DOCUMENT"
features={{
general: {
allowConfigureEnvelopeTitle: false,
allowUploadAndRecipientStep: false,
allowAddFieldsStep: false,
allowPreviewStep: false,
},
settings: {
allowConfigureSignatureTypes: false,
allowConfigureLanguage: false,
allowConfigureDateFormat: false,
},
recipients: {
allowApproverRole: false,
allowViewerRole: false,
},
}}
/>
```
### General

| `allowPreviewStep` | `boolean` | `true` | Show the preview step |
| `minimizeLeftSidebar` | `boolean` | `true` | Minimize the left sidebar by default |
### Settings
Controls envelope configuration options. Set to `null` to hide envelope settings entirely.

### Disabling Steps
You can also disable entire steps of the editor flow. This allows you to skip steps that are not relevant to your use case:
```jsx
<EmbedCreateEnvelope

features={{
general: {
allowUploadAndRecipientStep: false, // Skip the upload and recipient step

envelopeItems: null, // Prevent item modifications
recipients: null, // Prevent recipient modifications
}}
/>
```

## Complete Integration Example
This example shows a full workflow where users create an envelope and then edit it:
```tsx
import { useState } from 'react';
import { EmbedCreateEnvelope, EmbedUpdateEnvelope } from '@documenso/embed-react';
const EnvelopeManager = ({ presignToken }) => {
const [envelopeId, setEnvelopeId] = useState(null);
const [mode, setMode] = useState('create');
if (mode === 'success') {
return (
<div>
<h2>Envelope updated successfully</h2>
<button
onClick={() => {
setEnvelopeId(null);
setMode('create');
}}
>
Create Another Envelope
</button>
</div>
);
}
if (mode === 'edit' && envelopeId) {
return (
<div style={{ height: '800px', width: '100%' }}>
<button onClick={() => setMode('create')}>Back to Create</button>
<EmbedUpdateEnvelope
presignToken={presignToken}
envelopeId={envelopeId}
onEnvelopeUpdated={(data) => {
console.log('Envelope updated:', data.envelopeId);
setMode('success');
}}
/>
</div>
);
}
return (
<div style={{ height: '800px', width: '100%' }}>
<EmbedCreateEnvelope
presignToken={presignToken}
type="DOCUMENT"
features={{
general: {
allowConfigureEnvelopeTitle: false,
