How do I sign a document with my signature, and then send it to a recipient?

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out here in the DocuSign Community. 

I understand that you are looking to sign your document prior to sending it to your recipient, and I will gladly share the steps to set this up.

You can include yourself as the first signer in an envelope during its creation (or through a correction) by setting up a Signing Order. 

After clicking Manage > New > Send an Envelope, you will click the checkbox next to “Set Signing Order” in the  “Add Recipients to the Envelope” section.

Once that’s done, you’ll be able to add a  number next to each recipient that will designate who will sign first, second, third, etc.

You can find more details on how to set up a signing order here:

Feel free to let us know if you need further assistance with this. 

Thank you for using DocuSign, we hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! 

Best regards,
