Yes, you need to add yourself as Recipient 1, then any other additional Recipients who need to sign. If you are logged into DocuSign with the same email address you are sending the envelope to, then when you send it should ask you a pop-up to Sign Now or Sign Later, so you should be able to select Sign Now and not have to use the link in the email notification.

Thank you for your answer, David. I was thinking that was the only way...and honestly I find that a bit aggravating. There should be some way to drop in your signature without doing all of that. I do thank you for your help, though!!
