This article covers the steps for updating your document signing fields to allow for both digital and wet-signatures.
You might have a document signing scenario that requires "wet-signatures" from folks without America Learns accounts.
For example: Your program requires that reporters under the age of 18 get permission from a guardian via a wet-signature to serve.
Or, perhaps you have some folks who sign your document digitally and others will sign manually.
In both of these scenarios you will need the option to upload documents to the same field that will hold your fully executed, digitally signed documents.
America Learns has the necessary functionality to support you when this circumstance arises. Here are the steps.
If you need the steps for creating a NEW document signing field that allows for wet-signatures, check out this article.
