  • Type in your name, and click Apply.

  • Click the "Draw" link, draw your signature/initials using a mouse, or your finger or a stylus on a touchscreen, and click Apply. NOTE: If you draw your name, you must also type your name in the signature dialog.

If you do not approve the form, do not sign the form. Instead, click on the drop-down menu at the top of the page titled "Alternative Actions" and select "I will not e-sign". If the form contains errors or needs to be modified, you will need to contact the sender directly to make the changes needed and reroute the form. You can also choose "Someone else should sign" to delegate signing to another email address.

A message will appear stating that you have completed your review and signing work. The form will now move on to the next assigned reviewer, or if you are the final reviewer, the sender will receive confirmation that the form is complete and will receive a final version of the document in their Adobe Sign account.
