# Signing documents in My Signatures

> When a document needs your signature, it lands in My Signatures. Here's how to read it, draw your signature, and download your signed copy.

When your agency sends you something to sign — a policy, an onboarding form, an acknowledgment — it shows up in `My Signatures`. This guide walks through signing one from start to finish.

Open `My Signatures` (`/dashboard/my-signatures`). If anything is waiting, you'll see a banner: "You have N document(s) awaiting your signature." The page has two sections, `Documents to Sign` and `Signed Documents`.

## Open a document to sign

1. In `Documents to Sign`, find the document.
2. Click **Sign Now**.
3. The document opens as a preview — read it before you do anything else.

Every signature on Enmantle is **hand-drawn**. There's no typed or auto-generated signature — you draw yours, the same as signing on paper.

## Tick the agreement, then draw

1. Check the agreement box: "I have read and understand this document…". You can't sign until this is ticked.
2. Draw your signature in the box marked `Sign here`.
3. Not happy with it? Use `Clear` to start over, or `Undo` to remove your last stroke.
4. When it looks right, click **Accept Signature**.

Take your time on the drawing — a phone screen works fine with a fingertip. `Clear` wipes the whole box; `Undo` steps back one stroke at a time.

## Two kinds of documents

How many times you sign depends on the document type:

- **Whole-document** — one signature covers the entire document, alongside the agreement checkbox. Sign once and you're done.
- **Field-based** — the sender has placed specific fields on the pages: signature, initials, and date spots. Fill each placed field where it appears. Enmantle merges your marks into a final signed PDF.

Either way, follow the prompts on screen until every required spot is filled.

## Declining a document

If you can't or won't sign, click **Decline** instead of `Sign Now`.

> Declining is confirmed and **can't be undone**. If you decline by mistake, contact your admin — they'll need to send the request again.

Only decline when you mean it. If you have a question about the document, ask first and sign after.

## Find and download your signed copy

Once you've signed, the document moves from `Documents to Sign` to `Signed Documents`. Open it there any time to view or download your copy for your own records.

## If a signature ties to onboarding

Some signature requests are part of your onboarding checklist. Signing here can complete the matching task in [Completing your onboarding tasks](/help/complete-your-onboarding) — so check your onboarding journey after you sign to confirm it moved forward.
