How to assign a witness on docusign contract

Question

I have been sent a contract to sign by a publisher and it needs to be witnessed. Everyone else who needs to sign the document has signed it so I don’t want to mess it up by doing the wrong thing. I have signed it myself and now it is asking me to “assign a witness signature”. But there are no instructions how to do it and when I click on that field it looks like I am going to sign it again myself, instead of my witness. Could someone please explain the correct procedure? Thank you.
