During the preparation of your documents, it is sometimes necessary to ask signers to add a mention (e.g., "read and approved"). To do this, easily add a mention field to your signature requests, templates, and forms by following this guide.
Discover Mentions
Mentions allow you to link a signer to specific text. With the mention field, you can ensure that the mention adheres to the desired format, while also avoiding manual input for the signers.
Mentions are available on signature requests, templates, and forms for Free, One, Plus, Pro, and Scale subscriptions.
You can customize your mentions based on your needs or select one of the five suggestions directly available when adding this field:
Approved
Read and approved
Read and approved - signed on #date
Signed on #date
#date
Pro tip: By adding #date (or #datetime) to your mention, the date (or date and time) of the signers's signature will be automatically added.
Adding a Mention
When preparing your document, you can add a mention by:
Adding a signer by clicking "Add a signer,"
Providing their information or selecting them from your contact list,
Dragging the mention field to where you want it to appear on your document,
Clicking to select a suggestion for mentions or entering the desired mention,
Changing the font by clicking on the arrow at the end of the "font" field and selecting your desired font.
Changing the text size by clicking on the arrow at the end of the "size" field and choosing your desired text size. The sizes range from 8 to 22.
Changing the text color by clicking on the black box and either selecting one of our pre selected colors or entering the color code of your desired color next to the "#".
Choosing the font style of your text. To put it in Bold, select "B", to put it in italic, select "I".
Validating your mention by clicking "Save."
A mention must be linked to a signer, and you can repeat these actions to create other mentions for other signers.
✨ Tip: If you frequently use mentions and want to add one by default and/or save other custom mentions (based on your use), follow this detailed article.
A mention can contain a maximum of 160 characters, and you can add line breaks (especially to accommodate the width of your document).
Edit a mention
Move a Mention
Once the mention field is dragged onto your document, you can move it to wherever you want on your documents with a simple drag-and-drop.
