Prepare your signature and understand signing order

1. Open your signature settings

Choose Settings → General, then Signature. Under Your signature, select Add signature if you have not added one.

The empty state says jobs cannot be sent for signing until you add a signature. The page describes the saved signature as reusable on client agreements, so check the name and mark carefully before adopting it.

Find the signature editor.

2. Choose Draw or Type

The Add your signature dialog offers Draw and Type. Type exposes a Full name field and style choices. Enter your own signing name and inspect the chosen style. Use Draw if you intend to draw your mark instead.

The pictured editor is blank and unadopted. A style preview is still preparation; it does not show a signed agreement.

Review your name, style and consent.

3. Read the consent before adopting

Review the electronic-signature consent in the dialog. If you intend to adopt that mark under the displayed terms, complete the required choices and use Adopt signature. If the name or mark is wrong, correct it first or use Cancel.

After adoption, return to the Signature tab and check the saved result before using it on an agreement. When preparing a particular engagement, also review the agreement itself; having a saved signature does not replace that review.

4. Understand who signs first

The contract builder’s E-Signature Field Guide says the professional’s signature goes on first, so the client receives an agreement already countersigned by the professional. It also says an admin cannot sign on the professional’s behalf.

If an admin prepares a job for a professional who has no signature, the guide says the professional must add one before the contract can be sent. Check the actual client signing state on the agreement afterward; do not infer the client’s signature from your saved mark.

Your signature comes before the client’s.
