When provenance signing is enabled, saving a draft creates an Agent Provenance Receipt (APR) — a signed record of which document text was saved, from which template, at what moment in time. Receipts are verifiable and stored independently of your workspace.
What a receipt records
An APR receipt records:
- The document's SHA-256 hash, type and version
- The template id and version that produced it
- When generation started and completed
- A pseudonym for your account, not your name or email
- A digital signature from the miniterms generation service
The receipt does not contain the document text. It carries the document's hash, so anyone holding the text can check that it matches.
Viewing receipts
Go to Receipts in the dashboard sidebar. Each row shows the receipt ID, its kind, when it was issued, its anchor and status, and a Verify ↗ link to verify.dekimu.com/v/<claimId>.
Click Verify ↗ to open the public verification page. Anyone with the URL can verify the receipt — you can share it with a lawyer, auditor, or regulator to show this exact text was saved in miniterms at that time.
The APR badge on documents
When you view your Documents list, any draft saved with a receipt shows an APR ↗ badge next to its name. Clicking the badge opens the verification page for that specific receipt.
ZIP provenance comment
When you download a ZIP — Download ZIP on the Publish page, or Export everything in Settings — each saved draft that has a receipt begins with:
<!-- Dekimu-APR: <claimId> · verify https://verify.dekimu.com/v/<claimId> -->
Keep this comment in place. It links any published document back to its receipt without requiring access to your miniterms account.
When receipts are created
Receipts are created when you click Save as draft, if provenance signing is enabled. Generating a draft and discarding it — closing the tab without saving — does not create a receipt.
