Multiple Signatures are overlapping on one document

​@cwinston 

Probably you did not correctly create the envelopes to achieve the desired outcome of having a single document signed by each employee.

It sounds like you’re sending out a single document or handbook to multiple recipients for signature, resulting in one document with all recipient signatures. You cannot separate the signatures after signing.

If you want individual documents for each employee, you need to send an envelope to each one. You can use the Bulk Send functionality to send the same handbook as individual envelopes to multiple employees at once. When creating the template, it’s highly recommended to add all necessary fields, such as signature, date signed, etc.

Regarding your point about signatures overlapping: Did you place signature fields that weren’t spaced wide enough, causing the signatures to overlap? Or did you send the envelope without placing any signature fields at all?

Thank you for that, Michael. It would be nice if it explained it that way. Usually, when working on multiple HR-related items...background checks, sexual harassment training, etc., it is explained that way. Either Docusign is not that intuitive, or I just missed it. 

Thanks again for your help.
