The End of "Print, Sign, Scan"
Remember the old days? You receive a contract, you have to print it, sign it with a pen, scan it back to your computer, and email it. What a waste of paper and time.
With electronic signatures (e-signatures), you can sign documents in seconds, legally and securely.

Tips for a Professional E-Signature

If clicking and dragging with a mouse, try the **Type** option for a cleaner aesthetic.
Use [Blue Ink] color if available to distinguish the signature from the printed text.
