Switching from Adobe Acrobat Sign: common questions

They stay in Acrobat Sign. Finish them there, or cancel them and resend from Flowsign once your templates are ready.
It depends on how many templates you have. Most of the work is rebuilding and testing templates. Contacts import from a CSV and members are invited one at a time.
