An overview of NDAs and where to find them in the platform
When it comes to adding an NDA to your RFQ, you can choose between:
-
Single opt-in: Suppliers accept once to gain access.
-
Double opt-in: Both you and the supplier must accept before files are shared.
This flexibility allows you to set the right level of confidentiality for each project.
You can also upload a custom NDA when creating your RFQ. Suppliers must review the document and click “Accept” before they can access your files — there’s no need for physical signatures or document returns.
Viewing NDAs for an RFQ
All NDAs accepted through MFG are stored in your account and linked to the specific RFQ. To view them:
-
Go to your Dashboard.
-
Open the RFQs section and select the RFQ you’d like to review.
-
Inside that RFQ, navigate to the NDAs tab (next to View RFQ, Quotes, and Messages).
From there:
-
If you used a standard NDA, you’ll see which suppliers have accepted or declined.
-
If you uploaded a custom NDA, you’ll see who accepted your version.
-
For double opt-in NDAs, you’ll also see which suppliers are awaiting your approval before gaining access.
This gives you complete visibility into every supplier’s NDA status for that RFQ.
