SharePoint is introducing a new feature for its eSignature tool that allows users to add custom free text fields to documents. Imagine you are sending a form to someone to sign, and you want them to fill in their address or full name. Previously, you might have had to send a separate email or document to gather this information. Now, with the new feature, you can include these fields directly in the document that needs to be signed.
Think of it like filling out a form at a doctor's office. When you arrive, you're handed a clipboard with a form that has specific spaces for your name, address, and other details. This new SharePoint feature is like adding those spaces directly onto the document you need signed, making it more convenient for both the sender and the signer.
This update aims to streamline the process of collecting necessary information, reducing the need for back-and-forth communication. It's like having all the tools you need in one toolbox rather than having to search for them in different places. By integrating these free text fields into the eSignature process, SharePoint is making it easier to gather essential information in a single step, improving efficiency and clarity for all parties involved.
