I no long have the option to sign a document myself when I am setting up a document in docusign. It takes me straight to the recipients page. I just want to sign it myself.

If you login to your DocuSign account and select New, do you not see the "Sign A Document" option? Even if you only have "Send an Envelope", you can use that, upload a document, add yourself as Recipient - Needs to Sign, drop tags, and Send. It should pop-up a prompt to bring you right to the signing portion.

Here is a link to the "Sign a Document"....https://support.docusign.com/en/guides/ndse-user-guide-sign-a-document

If you do not see "Sign a Document" as an option in your account contact DocuSign Support to find out why this is not available.

@Jeffrey West Based on my current Account interface and screenshots I have seen from other Community members there are two different interfaces. The new interface is called "Simplified Sending" which is outlined in this DocuSign article...

The account I operate under is still the older interface, I could not tell you who or why different interfaces exist but based on the guide I provided it is to serve customers better. It has been my experience that the new interface does not have all the options of the old interface.
