  • Job Title: Include the Invitee's Job Title with the signature.
  • Reason: Prompt the Invitee to provide a reason for signing to embed in to the signature.
  • Witness: Click "Add Witness" to add a witness signature onto the document. The Invitee will be prompted to invite their Witness to sign the document.
