System and method for multi-party electronic signing of electronic documents

A computing system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to:
• send, to a plurality of computing devices, an invitation containing a link to access a first electronic document in a first state;
• receive, from at least one of the computing devices, a first indication of approval for the first electronic document in the first state;
• detect a change in state of the first electronic document from the first state to a second state;
• identify a first subset of the computing devices including devices that did not provide any indication of approval for the first electronic document and devices that have already received requests for updated approvals for the first electronic document;
• send, to a second subset of the computing devices that are not included in the first subset, requests to provide indications of approval for the first electronic document in the second state;
• receive, from computing devices of the second subset, second indications of approval for the first electronic document in the second state;
• and
• responsive to receiving the second indications of approval, generate a locked form of the first electronic document in the second state for submitting to a virtual document signing ceremony.
