Save and insert last used signature

Hello Community,

Signatories without a DocuSign account have forgotten an important prefix when signing for the very first time. So they added this prefix in front of their name the second time they signed the document. On the third document, they are again offered the first signature without the prefix and have to change it again. Why doesn't DocuSign save the last signature used?

Hello Marco,

most of the recipients do not have an own DocuSign-Account so this procedure does not work for them. They do not need an account because they just sign and never send an envelope.

Hello ​@Katrin,

I’m sorry for the confusion. It could be that the recipient did not hit the save button to keep their signature. 

This window appears when a recipient signs an envelope for the first time even if they don't have an account.

You may advise them to make sure to check in that box that says “Save my signature and initials for next time”.

Hello Marco,

as you can see in my screenshot attached, there is no checkbox for “save my signature and initials for the next time”. There is no check box at all and the name is grayed out. I have to change my name and add another prefix and this is still not possible. I opened up support ticket XXXXXXXX regarding this issue since my first ticket (no. XXXXXXXX) was closed last week without a solution.

(Image Deleted) Please review DocuSign Community Guidelines and Code of Conduct

Can you tell me what I need to show this checkbox to the signers? And why is the name grayed out although signers should be able to change it? 

Could it be that there is a maximum number of name changes after which the name is no longer customizable? So far, the signers have created their signature once and customized it once, after which it was no longer possible.

Best regards,

Katrin
