Use this interactive demo to learn how to modify and send a DocuSign document with custom fields.

Quick summary

Editing a DocuSign document lets you add, remove, or reposition fields directly in the document editor before sending it out for signatures. Once your edits are complete, you can customize each field's properties and send the document to recipients in just a few clicks.


Steps

  1. Access the document in DocuSign from the home screen.
  2. Click 'Next' to open the document editor.
  3. In the editor, add, remove, or adjust fields by dragging them from the sidebar onto the document.
  4. Click on each field to customize its properties as needed.
  5. After making your edits, review the document and click 'Send' to distribute it for signing.

📌 Why this matters

Editing a DocuSign document is a critical skill for anyone managing contracts, agreements, or compliance paperwork digitally. DocuSign's document editor lets users add, remove, and configure signature fields without leaving the platform, reducing turnaround time on legally binding documents. The ability to customize field properties and send directly from the editor eliminates back-and-forth with recipients and speeds up the entire signing workflow. For teams handling high volumes of documents, mastering DocuSign's editing tools directly improves operational efficiency and reduces errors in the signing process.
