Importing and Uploading Documents Offline

Even without an internet connection, you can import and upload documents directly from your mobile device. SignNow offers several convenient options:

• Tap the document and select Open in the Editor to begin editing and signing.
• Assign fillable fields, such as signature, initials, or text, and indicate who should complete each field.
• If you’ve signed before, your saved signature will be available; otherwise, you can draw a new one on your screen.
