Multiple signatures

Good day,

is there an option that one can sign once and it populates all the necessary signature spots. i.e when a document is sent with multiple pages to be signed, one can click once and all pages are signed instead of each page to be clicked on?

No, this is not possible in Docusign eSignature. Every signature field that you put on the documents needs to be clicked by the recipients. There would be a legal risk if it would populate to all signature fields on all pages in the document and could result in you potentially signing something that you did not read or want.

If you don’t need a signature field on every page, like it was done with initials on a paper based world, simply do not place the signature field where it is not required, as you would not initial every page in a digital world.

Thank you very much.

Also is one limited in the amount of documents/pages that can be uploaded to the envelope?

I have one documents that has to be signed by several individuals.

Is that possible?

Just one signature per person but they all should be listed on ONE document

@CeliaDomenech - Yes, that is something you can do. Assign each one signatures tag for each recipient on your envelope.

Hi,

Is there a way to automatically set up a signature/initials field on each page rather than manually setting it up? Say there’s a 100 page contract - what is the path of least resistance to make it happen?

What is the signatories’ role then? Do they need to click on a 100 pages?

Thank you!

Could you please provide an official response refuting this one click signing? Or direct me to where I might be able to receive an official explanation?

Hi @Daguchan,

Thank you for engaging with the Docusign Community. We are pleased to have you here.

We appreciate your inquiry about signing multiple signature fields in a multi-page document with a single click. In Docusign signing experience, each required signature or initial field must be completed with a separate click; one click cannot populate independent signature fields across multiple pages.

Upon checking, we do not have an official article available refuting functionality. Once-click signing is not possible based on the Docusign signing experience. This is to ensure that signers review and complete the required signature fields before finalizing an agreement. This helps maintain the integrity, accuracy, and accountability of the signing process.

Additionally, different signature fields may appear in different sections of a document and serve different purposes. Requiring a signer to navigate through them helps reduce the risk of missing, misalignment, or incorrectly completing a required field. A controlled signing process helps support compliance, depending on the document and applicable laws.

And importantly, Docusign signing workflow tracks the completion of required fields and records the envelope’s signing activity. This provides an auditable trail of the envelope transaction.

Please note that these are general workflow considerations and do not mean that individual clicks are universally required by law.

I hope this helps! If you need anything else or have more questions, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to assist.
