How-To Use Free Form Signing from DocuSign

Posted March 4, 2010

While the familiar yellow stick-e-tabs indicate to where your signers should place their electronic signature, you may also send a document for e-signature without placing any stick-e-tabs. For example, DocuSign Lite, DocuSign's free electronic signature service, enables you to send a document for signature without a stick-e-tab. DocuSign's Freeform signing feature enables your recipients to eSign and return documents - quickly, easily and securely!

This video will show you how to use DocuSign's Freeform signing feature to drag signatures, initials, and form fields to any location in the document to complete the signing.

  • Open the email sent to you from the DocuSign eSignature Service.
  • Click the “Review” button to open your envelope.
  • Click the “I Agree” box for the consumer disclosure statement.
  • Click the “I Adopt” box to adopt or to modify your signature, click the “Modify your Signature” link.
  • Click “Continue”

Your document appears in the window. Use the palette on the left of the document to click and drag signatures, initials and form fields to any location in the document.

The example in the video shows the selection and dragging of the signature and date signed form fields to the document.

You can reposition or remove any form fields you had previously added before you complete your signing. You can stay and review your document. Click the “Complete Signing” button when you're done.
