Skip to How to Sign the Document if you have already received a signature request and need help with signing.

In Governance Documents, open the Options menu on the document and select Request Signature. This option is available for all type of documents except spreadsheets.

Selecting this option will open a popup where you can see the document and place signature fields at appropriate locations.

Select the first signer from the drop-down menu, then drag and drop the required fields from the sidebar onto the document. If the field is not correctly sized for your document, you can adjust it by selecting the field and resizing with the circular grab handles.

You can place as many signature fields as you like for the same signer. If you need to place fields for multiple different signers, simply select a different person from the drop-down menu to place fields for them.

Note: You cannot select someone as a signer who cannot access to the document. Click here to find out more.
