Signing is only half of the problem

I just (today at 4:20pm) had to sign a document. One of the options was to SELECT a given font and use that. One of the options was to DRAW your signature. (Which would be gibberish if I did that.) One of the options was to UPLOAD your signature.

Now - before I go on - I might have had to upload just my initials AND THEN upload on my signature - BUT THERE WAS NOTHING TO TELL ME THIS. Instead on the initials it would only let me upload initials. So, being a logical person I was going “Hey! Why can’t I upload my full signature?”.

Because of the above, I was very confused and then opted for a different font and signed the document that way.

So my suggestion/idea is to not just do one part of the initial/signature but to do both of them AT THE SAME TIME so you do not confuse people. OR - you could just put a link to the other half of the equation. I.E. : If you are on the INITIAL part - have a link to change the person’s signature and if you are on the SIGNATURE part have a link to the initial part.

Basically, it is not enough to only do part of what is needed - you should always do the entire part. In this way you eliminate the confusion and everyone benefits from going the entire way.

Thank you for reading this.
