Written by Nirmal Fakir

New to QuicklySign? A document can be uploaded, prepared with fields, and sent for signature in just a few simple steps. This allows you to securely collect information & signatures from multiple signers while controlling the signing order and authentication method. Using this setup ensures a smooth signing experience for both you and your recipients.

Requirements

  • Document must be in PDF or Microsoft Office format (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)

  • We recommend keep your file size below 25mb

  • Permissions to create and send documents in QuicklySign (If you are unsure, please check with your account manager/administrator or use the in-app support chat)

  • Stable internet connection and supported browser (Chrome, FireFox, Safari, Edge)

1. Upload your document

  • Click New Document (Top Right)

  • Select Upload new document

  • Choose your file (PDF, Word, XLS, PPT) and click Open


Once uploaded, you’ll move to the setup screen.


2. Name your document

Give your document a clear name.

The document name will form part of the email subject when the signature request is sent.



3. Add your signers

Enter the details of each person who needs to sign.

  • Click + Signer to add more people

  • Only add yourself if you need to sign after sending; you are able to Pre-sign before sending to anyone

  • Add the signer’s name and email address and mobile number.

  • Add a mobile number if the signer will need to receive a One-Time PIN (OTP)


4. Choose signing order

Decide how the document should be signed:

  • Sequentially → one after another

  • Concurrently → all at the same time



5. Set signing security (OTP - One Time Pin)

Choose how signers will access the document:

  • Email only (basic)

Email + mobile OTP (more secure - recommended)

Select Require one-time pin before signing/viewing if the signer must verify themselves with an OTP before viewing or signing the document.

When OTP is enabled, the signer must have a valid mobile number. Please do not use a landline number, and confirm the correct dialing code is selected from the dropdown.


6. Add CC recipients (optional)

Add anyone who should receive a copy of the completed document and/or needs to track its progress in real-time.

CC recipients do not sign the document. When Tracking is enabled, they can also view progress and receive status notifications


7. Use the toolbar to place fields where signatures or information are needed.

  • Click a field type, then click on the document to place it

  • Assign each field to a signer

  • Mark fields as required if needed

Required fields must be completed before the signer can finish signing. Optional fields can be left incomplete.

Signers can only complete or edit fields assigned to them. Completed information may appear on the document for later signers, but they cannot change fields assigned to someone else.

Tip:

  • Assign fields to Me (Now) if you want to pre-fill information, add your signature, or add your initials before sending the document.

  • Do not assign fields to Me (Now) if those fields need to be completed by a signer later.


8. Send the document

Click Request Signatures when you’re done.

  • Use Sign in-person if signing face-to-face

Expected Outcome

  • Document is sent successfully to all signers.

  • Signers receive signature requests in the chosen order and authentication method.

  • Fields are visible and editable only for the assigned signer.

  • Pre-filled fields (assigned to Me[Now]) cannot be amended by any signers.
