Hello ​@Edwin Richards,

Thanks so much for raising this—it’s a totally valid concern. It's crucial that witnesses are only shown what's necessary.

Thank you for your response which is helpful to some extent.

I cannot believe I am the only person that needs to be able to have witnesses see only the page they are required to sign with the signature they are witnessing. 

Having to create a signing page as a separate document is not a satisfactory solution as it simply creates more work.

A change to the way DocuSign works with witnesses would be best.

Thank you for your comments. What you suggest provides a workaround, that works, but is by no means ideal and means a great deal more work for the sender. DocuSign needs to address this.
