Bulk envelope management in a document management system

A method comprising:

• sending, by a document management system, a distinct copy of a set of documents to each of a plurality of recipients in a bulk sending process, wherein each copy is associated with one or more actions to be taken by a corresponding recipient, and wherein the distinct copies of the set of documents collectively comprises a batch of document sets;
• generating, by the document management system, an interface that displays, for each copy of the set of documents in the batch, the recipient of the copy and a status of the copy;
• receiving, by the document management system, a request from to perform a bulk void action on the batch of document sets;
• identifying, by the document management system, a first subset of the batch of document sets that have not been executed;
• identifying, by the document management system, a second subset of the batch of document sets that have been executed;
• performing, by the document management system, the bulk void action on each of the first subset of the batch of document sets that have not been executed to prevent the first subset of the batch of document sets from being executed by recipients of the first subset of the batch of document sets;
• and
• performing, by the document management system, an alternative bulk void action on the second subset of the batch of document sets that have been executed.

A method comprising:

• accessing, by a document management system, documents sets sent individually by a sending entity to a plurality of recipients;
• identifying, by the document management system, a subset of the accessed document sets that satisfy one or more similarity criteria;
• modifying, by the document management system, an interface presented to the sending entity to include a suggestion that the sending entity combine the identified subset of the accessed document sets;
• in response to the sending entity accepting the suggestion, combining, by the document management system, the identified subset of the accessed documents sets into a batch of document sets;
• receiving, by the document management system, a request to perform a bulk action from the sending entity;
• and
• performing, by the document management system, the bulk action on the accessed documents sets that are included in the batch of document sets but not on the accessed document sets that are not in the batch of document sets.
