How to Post a detailed question, conversation or idea post

Detailed question posts, along with Docusign-related posts bringing up conversation starters and ideas, are the cornerstone of our Community. 

From the main Community homepage, click on + Ask the Community in the upper right to start a new post — one asking a question, sparking a conversation or bringing up a novel idea.

By clicking on + Ask the Community, you’ll choose between the following categories for your post:

  1. Ask a question
  2. Create a conversation

After selecting one of these categories for your post, fill out the title and description. Upon filling out the post title, the community automatically looks for similar posts to help you find an answer quickly or point you in the right direction to engage in a similar conversation.

You can fill out the details of your question, conversation or idea post in the Description text box, then select the best category for your question and add associated tags to increase visibility for other Community users.

The text toolbar allows you to customize your text with bold, italics, colors for emphasis, bullet points, numbering, emojis and more. Additionally, you can attach files, links and images and toggle the text box to embed media, a table, code or even conduct a poll. 

You might do this to showcase a screenshot of your specific Docusign-related question, along with embed code snippets to explain integration of Docusign APIs.

Once you have filled everything out in your post and selected the best category and tags, hit Create Topic to publish your post. 

Your post is now live under the category you selected and other users can help you by providing answers to your post. 
 

How to create helpful answers and accept the best answers in a post. 

How do I create a helpful answer to someone’s post?

To leave a thoughtful response, ensure the answer is laid out clearly and in an easy-to-read manner. We offer line breaks, bullet points and numbered steps that you can use to craft responses. This will help readers quickly scan your response and follow along without reading through lengthy, hard-to-understand answers.

How to accept the best answer to your question. 

If you have received multiple answers to your Docusign-related question, you can let other users know which answers are best and helpful. 

To select the best answer to your question, click Select as Best below their response and it will push the answer to the top of the post where it’s most visible. This lets other users know which answer is helpful, so they don’t have to skim through all the available answers. 

You also have the option to Like an answer with a thumbs up at the bottom, which lets other users know you find it helpful, even if it’s not the best available answer to your question. Think of it as giving them kudos for their work, which is always appreciated and lets others know it’s a relevant response.
