Hi - How do you add your manager’s electronic signature to a DocuSign document - if they are sent a Docusign document from an external entity?  I have received a few of these but havent been able to add their signature for them, is there a way to do this?  I havent used DocuSign before - just using the 30 day free trial to try and work this out! Thank you
