# Capsule 10: Tips and Best Practices

**Objective:** Maximize the value of Legale.io with key tips.

**Steps:**

### **1. Use reusable templates for recurring contracts**

Avoid duplicating work by setting up **Smart Documents** as base templates. This standardizes your format, reduces errors, and saves time by automating fields like name, ID, or amounts.

### **2. Assign area-specific workflow owners**

Designate signers or validators by department (e.g., Legal, HR, Operations) to improve control and traceability in signature flows. Use sequential workflows for critical documents.

### **3. Periodically review users and permissions**

Review access every quarter: check who is active, what permissions they hold, and revoke unused or outdated accounts. Adjust access according to current roles and responsibilities.

### **4. Security and backup recommendations**

- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for critical accounts.
- Back up key documents regularly.
- Ensure all platform connections use encryption (HTTPS).
- Apply the principle of least privilege when assigning roles.
- Enforce password rotation policies and monitor audit logs regularly.
