Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add fields for multiple signers?
Yes. Place a separate set of fields for each signer where their signature, date, or initials are required.
What's the difference between adding a field and signing?
Adding a field prepares the document; signing fills it. Prepare the fields first, then send the contract so each person signs in the right place.
