Problem:

I’m working with large third-party agreements (often 30–70+ pages) and frequently need to place initials on every page within a specific range (for example, pages 2–35 or 1–68).

Currently, AutoPlace (Anchor Tagging) in DocuSign is text-based and works well when there’s a consistent anchor string. However, in many third-party documents:

  • There are no consistent anchor tags across all pages
  • Or adding anchor text isn’t feasible

The challenge:
There’s no native way to automatically place fields (like initials) based on a page range. This means we have to:

  • Manually place fields page by page, or
  • Pre-edit documents to insert anchor tags (not always practical)

Feature idea:
It would be extremely useful to have an option like:

  • “Apply field to page range” (e.g., pages 2–35)
  • Or “Apply field to all pages except first/last”
  • Or rules like “place initials bottom-right on every page in range”

Use cases:

  • Third-party contracts
  • Compliance-heavy documents requiring page-by-page acknowledgment
  • High-volume workflows where manual tagging isn’t scalable

Question:
Is anything like “AutoPlace by page range” on the roadmap?
Or are there recommended best practices/workarounds others are using at scale?
