Dilani Silva,

OneSpan Sign offers Optional Signatures to give your signers the flexibility to complete a transaction without having them sign all the signature fields in the documents. This feature is useful for documents that require the signer to either accept or decline sections of a form.

Let me show you how easy it is to use Optional Signatures in OneSpan Sign:

  • Now it’s time to add the signature blocks to your document for your recipients to sign. Simply drag-and-drop the signature blocks from the left hand side into the document. In this example, we’re sending an insurance form that requires the signer to accept or decline coverage details of the insurance policy. 
  • For these sections, we’ll add Optional Signatures to the form. Simply click the gear icon of the signature block, and select ‘Is optional’.
