+### Envelopes: Batch document signing in LibreSign
+
+LibreSign now supports **Envelopes**, a feature that allows multiple documents to be grouped and managed as a **single signing process**.
+
+An envelope represents a logical container that holds one or more documents, enabling organizations to handle multi-document signing scenarios in a structured and transparent way, following practices already established in the digital signature market.
+
+#### What is an Envelope?
+
+An **Envelope** is a collection of documents that are sent together for signature and treated as **one unified signing workflow**.
+
+Instead of managing each document individually, the envelope allows:
+
+* A single signing request
+* A shared set of signers
+* A single signing process that shows the progress of all documents in one place
+
+All documents inside an envelope belong to the same signing process and are not treated as independent signing requests.
+
+#### Administrative control
+
+Envelope usage in LibreSign is **fully configurable by administrators**.
+
+Administrators can enable or disable envelope usage at the organization level, allowing each environment to decide whether multi-document signing workflows should be available.

+</div>
+
+When envelopes are disabled, users are limited to single-document signing requests, ensuring that this feature is only available when it aligns with internal policies or operational requirements.
+
+#### Editing and managing an envelope
+
+Once an envelope is created, LibreSign allows users to manage both its **name and contents** in a straightforward way.
+
+Documents can be added, removed, or viewed directly from the envelope, making it easy to adjust the document set before or during the signing process.

+  <img src="{{ $page->baseUrl}}assets/images/posts/envelopes/edit-envelope.png" alt="Editing an envelope, changing its name and managing documents">
+</div>
+
+These changes apply to the envelope as a whole, without breaking or resetting the signing workflow.
+
+#### Validation and transparency
+
+LibreSign also provides a clear and transparent validation view for envelopes.
+
+Each document inside the envelope keeps its own digital signatures and validation data, while the validation view makes it explicit that the documents belong to the same signing process.
+
+<div style="text-align: center;">
+  <img src="{{ $page->baseUrl}}assets/images/posts/envelopes/validation.png" alt="Envelope validation view showing related signed documents">
+</div>
+
+This helps users, auditors, and external systems understand the relationship between documents without introducing proprietary or opaque mechanisms.
