Notes are legal records once signed. EnWella enforces a hard rule: only providers (DoctorMembership) can primary-sign clinical notes.
Primary signing
When you finish a note, tap Sign. We timestamp, lock the body, and release records to the patient per your release policy.

When supervision is enabled, the note author can request a co-signature on an individual signed note. The reviewing clinician opens the note, completes the attestation, and adds a separately timestamped signature without replacing the original.
