Changing times dictate changing business needs; think file cabinets to cloud storage, emailing to sharing. It's no  surprise that now deals are no longer restricted to conference rooms. E-contracts and digital signature have taken precedence over physical contract signing which was time-consuming and prone to threats.

To keep up with the changing trend, Zoho Writer has now revamped its DigiSign feature, making it more business-friendly. With some brand new additions and modifications to the existing ones, you can now send create, collaborate, and close deals all using Zoho Writer!

Here's what's new:

Provision to Place Signature

When you have multiple people signing the copy, it may be necessary to have the placeholders for the signature in exactly the desired positions in the document. At time, there might be need for one signature to be made at multiple places. While earlier, it was not possible to manually manage the place for adding the signature, now you can place your signature anywhere in the document.

Self Signing Option

Tired of printing out a document and scanning it back just to put your signature on it? You can now do it online! Use the option 'I need to sign' and get your signature on the document before sending it out to others. You can also control the process in which the signatures are done whether recipients sign first, or they sign after you have signed the document.

Configure Signing Order

You can even designate a signing order for your document and have it transferred from one person to another in a particular order. Once you enable the Signer Order, the document will be delivered and signed in the designated order. A recipient will receive the document for signing only when document has been signed by all preceding recipients in the list.

Create Dynamic EchoSign Forms

In addition to signature, now you can also add check boxes and text fields to your document to collect data from your signers while signing. It supports dynamic forms allowing you to set locations where signers need to sign or initial as well capture the data during the signing or approval process.

Personalize Your Messages

You can even personalize your documents by adding a custom message in addition to subject, which will be added to the invite email sent to the signer.

So, next time you are sending a document for signature, you can do it without any hassles of signing in. You can manage your Echosign accounts to add or remove your details at any point of time.
