HOW DO I SIGN A DOCUSIGN DOCUMENT?


When someone sends you a DocuSign document for your electronic signature, you first receive an email from DocuSign sent on behalf of the sender.

Step 1 Review the DocuSign email

Open the email and review the message from the sender. Click REVIEW DOCUMENT to begin the signing process.

Note: Your experience as a signer may also vary depending on how the document sender wants you to sign. New signers have a different experience than returning signers and signers with a DocuSign account. To learn more, watch the Signing video or read the how-to guide Signing Documents Electronically with DocuSign.
