What is the Move Sign Feature?
The Move Sign feature allows you to add your signature to documents without the need for sending them to others for signing. This self-signing capability is designed for ease of use, providing a user-friendly interface that simplifies the signing process. Unlike traditional methods that require multiple steps and coordination with other parties, the Move Sign feature empowers you to sign documents independently.

Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) often face challenges in their document workflows, such as delays in obtaining signatures and the complexity of managing multiple signing tools. The Move Sign feature addresses these issues by offering a quick and efficient way to sign documents. By digitizing the signing process, you can eliminate the need for printing, scanning, and mailing documents. This not only speeds up the signature process but also reduces the risk of errors and lost documents, allowing your business to operate more smoothly and efficiently.
