I created a digital signature but the document that needs my signature does not use the signature I created.  How can I force the document that needs my signature to use the signature I created?

Hi ​@F Lance Pedriana

Welcome to the Docusign Community — great to have you here. I understand that you are having trouble applying the configured signature to the document you are signing. I’m here to help!
 

If Docusign is defaulting to an older signature style despite your recent updates, you can manually override it during your active signing session by following these steps:

  • Open and click Review Document.
  • Click the Sign field to place the signature.
  • Click directly on your signature and select Change
  •  

  • Choose your new style from your saved options.
  • Click Adopt then Replace


However, there are certain scenarios in which you can’t change your signature. You can find it here: Why Can't I Change My Signature? 


Please let me know if it works!
