How the Signature and Initials fields work
On this page
The Signature field collects a signature and the Initials field collects initials. You place both the same way. Signature has a Format setting that controls how the signer may sign; Initials does not.
Signature settings
Click Signature in the panel, draw the box on the signature line, then hover over "Signature 1" in the FIELDS list and click the gear.
- Format: Any (the signer chooses), Drawn (hand-drawn) or Typed (typed signature).
- Required: the signer must sign before they can finish.
- Description: a note about the field.

- Copy to All Pages: places the same field on every page.
If several people sign the same document, add one Signature field per signing party. See Add and rename signing parties.

Click Initials, draw a small box where the initials go, then open its settings with the gear next to "Initials 1".
