Hello,
I am trying to sign an XML file with eSignature.
Similar to the manual use of a certificate. Is that possible?
Currently, I cannot upload the XML.
Where can I enable this in the admin console?
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

Hello ​@Pomi 

Thank you for reaching out here in Docusign Community.

You can upload an XML file to DocuSign and send it for eSignature, but DocuSign does not apply an embedded XML digital signature.

The XML will be shown as plain text, and the legal proof of signing will come from the Certificate of Completion.

If you need a more readable format, it’s recommended to convert the XML to PDF before sending. If you require a true XML digital signature inside the file, this must be done outside DocuSign using another tool or process.
