Add a witness

At this point, you have uploaded a document and added a signer. You can add a witness to each document in the envelope.

Hint If you add a witness, OTP will automatically be mandatory.

When you send off this document, the signer will receive an email highlighting to them that a witness is required. We mention here that it is a legal requirement that the witness sees the signer applying the digital signature.

The signer will also receive a pop up before signing the document:
