Can I add my e-signature when the document returns, or do I have to indicate where I sign before sending it to the other party?

Hello,Thank you for reaching out here in the DocuSign Community.I understand you would like to know if you can add your signature when the envelope returns completed or if you would need to add it before sending.To answer your question, you would need to add yourself as a recipient and add your fields before sending the envelope for you to be able to sign, otherwise, the envelope will show as completed, and you won't be able to sign: https://support.docusign.com/s/document-item?language=en_US&bundleId=ulp1643236876813&topicId=sqo1578456318623.html&_LANG=enusLet us know if you need further assistance with this.Best regards,Nathaly | DocuSign Community Moderator"Select as Best" below if you find the answer a valid solution to your issue!

If my signature was not a part of that document so would the contract need to be resent in order to add my signature?
