What Is the Me Fill Out Now Feature?

Accessing the Me Fill Out Now Section in the Editor

Getting started with Me Fill Out Now is simple. Once you open your document in the SignNow editor, look for the Me (Fill out Now) option in the side panel. Clicking this will reveal a variety of elements you can add to your document, such as signatures, initials, stamps, dates, and text fields. The interface is designed to be intuitive, with clear icons and labels for each element type. This streamlined layout ensures you can quickly find and add the elements you need, saving you time and reducing the risk of missing important fields.

Types of Elements You Can Add (Signatures, Text, Stamps, Dates, etc.)

With Me Fill Out Now, you have access to a comprehensive set of elements to complete your documents:

• Signature: Add your legally binding electronic signature wherever it’s needed.
• Initials: Place your initials on specific sections or pages for added verification.
• Corporate Stamp: Insert your company’s official stamp for business documents.
• Today's Date: Automatically insert the current date to timestamp your actions.
• Text: Fill in names, addresses, or any other required information with customizable text fields.

To add an element, simply select it from the side panel and click on the document where you want it to appear. You can then drag it to reposition or use the formatting bar at the top to adjust its size and style.

Customizing and Positioning Your Elements

After placing an element on your document, you can easily move and resize it to fit perfectly. Drag the corners of the element to adjust its size, or use the formatting bar at the top of the editor to change font size, style, and alignment for text fields. This ensures your document looks clean and professional, with all elements precisely where you want them. The editor’s interactive canvas allows you to preview your changes in real time, so you can be confident that your signature, text, or stamp is exactly where it needs to be. This level of customization is especially valuable for forms, contracts, and official documents where accuracy and presentation matter.

Editing Limitations and Important Considerations

While Me Fill Out Now offers robust editing capabilities, there are a few important limitations to keep in mind:

• Signer Content: You cannot edit content added by your signers. This ensures the integrity and authenticity of their input.
• Finalizing Edits: Once you click Save and Close, your own content becomes locked and cannot be edited further. Make sure to review your entries before finalizing.
• Timing: You can add your content both before sending the document and after receiving it back from signers, but always double-check before closing the editor.

By understanding these considerations, you can avoid common mistakes and ensure your documents are completed accurately and securely.

Allowing Recipients to Add Their Own Content (Freeform Invites)

If you want your recipients to fill out documents without predefined fields, SignNow’s Freeform Invite feature is the solution. By sending a Freeform Invite, you allow recipients to add their own content—such as signatures, text, and dates—anywhere on the document, just as you do with Me Fill Out Now. This is perfect for situations where you want to give recipients maximum flexibility or when you’re unsure exactly what information they’ll need to provide.
