Signing a document yourself is fast and easy on CocoSign. Here’s a simple guide for how to eSign documents yourself:

To get started, click the Sign Yourself icon on your dashboard, or click START NOW on the left-side menu.

Step 1: Add Documents

After choosing the intended file(s), click Next to continue.

Step 2: Add Fields

You will see the document displayed on the Add Fields page (Click Previous Step if you need to change to another document). On the right-side panel, you may drag and drop the Signature field wherever it is required in the document.
