Teams choose mobile editing for flexibility and to reduce turnaround times while keeping a clear, auditable record of changes and approvals.
Precision drawing tools that support finger or Apple Pencil input allow signers to produce handwriting-style signatures directly on the iPhone screen, with smoothing options to improve legibility and save as reusable signature assets.
Ability to import a scanned or photographed signature image, crop and replace it, and embed it in the document while maintaining metadata that links the image change to a specific user action.
Snap-to guides, zoom, and precise placement handles help ensure signature size and position meet document formatting requirements and visual consistency across pages and devices.
Optional step-up authentication before committing edits—such as SMS code or passcode—ensures the person making the change is the authorized signer or an approved administrator.
Every edit produces a timestamped audit entry capturing who edited, when, and from which device and IP address, preserving an evidentiary chain for compliance and dispute resolution.

Once your signature is in place, tap on it and select Edit in the floating menu.
If you don’t have other saved signatures, tap Show All. The list of your signatures will appear.
