How to sign off certificates in RootWright LMS
Certificate sign-off holds a certificate until each signer has signed it. In RootWright LMS Pro, signers approve certificates under Teaching → Certificate sign-off. Approving adds your signature, and the certificate is issued once every signer is done.
