Step Tutorial 

1. Log-in to your account. From the Dashboard, go to Agreements.

2. Find the relevant agreement and click on the Signature icon under the Sign column.

3. The published document will open in a new page where you can find the signature field. Click on the Signature Field.

4. A small window will open where you can either digitally sign or upload your signature; if you choose to digitally sign, use a mouse pointer or digital pen to place your signature in the signature box. If needed, you may clear the box and try again. Once you've signed or uploaded a signature image file, click Apply to save your signature into the document.

NOTE: You may also see Name and Signature Date fields, which appear depending on the document setup. Please note that the Signature Date is automatically generated and cannot be edited—it reflects the exact date you signed the document.

5. Once done, scroll to the bottom of the document and click Submit.

IMPORTANT: Alternatively, you may receive an email notification that allows you to sign the document externally without logging into your account. Simply click the Sign Now button in the email—this will open a new tab where you can follow steps 3 to 5 as outlined above.
