    • Name: Full name of the person signing

Step 4: Add Fields

For detailed information on each field type and its settings, see our Placing Signatures And Inputs guide.

  1. Once your document is uploaded, you'll see the document editor with a toolbar on the left
  2. Select a field type from the toolbar:
    • Signature: For free-form or text-based signatures
    • Signer Name: Automatically displays the signer's name
    • Date Signed: Automatically captures the signing date
    • Text: For custom text input
    • Checkbox: For yes/no questions or agreements

  3. Click on the document where you want to place the field
  4. Drag to reposition or resize the field, or adjust its settings in the right panel
  5. To add more fields, click on a tool again and repeat the process

Step 5: Repeat for Additional Documents

  1. If you uploaded multiple documents, click "Next" to move to the next document and repeat the field placement process
  2. Continue until all documents have their required fields in place

Step 6: Send for Signing

  1. Review your document one final time to ensure all fields are properly placed
  2. Click the "Complete and Send" button
  3. Your recipients will receive email invitations with secure links to sign the document
