3. Manage Signers

There are two ways to add or edit signers:


Option A: Edit the Signer List (Before Signing)

  1. On the right-hand panel, click Edit under Tag Signers.

  2. Click + Add Signer.

  3. You can either:

    • Select an existing signer from the project.

    • Or click Add New Signer to manually enter their details (First/Last Name, Email, Company, and whether they are Required or Optional).

  4. After entering signer details, click Create Signer.

  5. You can continue adding more signers if needed. When ready, click Add Signers to confirm.

Important:

  • You can add, remove, or update signers as needed.

  • You can change a signer from Required to Optional (and vice versa).

  • Updates will appear on the PDF with updated signature blocks.

  • The tag must be in Awaiting Signature status to make edits.

  • Once a signer has already responded, their status cannot be changed.


⚠️ Before You Sign

Once you submit your signature, the tag is considered signed. At that point, you cannot use Revise & Resubmit or Reject.
Make any necessary edits or decisions before you complete your signature.

Option B: Add Another Signer While Signing

  1. Click Click to Sign.
