Sign Document

Whether you received a signature request by email or were asked to sign in person, this guide walks you through the full signing process. No Xodo Sign account is required to sign a document.

Step 1: Open the document

Click the signing link in the email you received from Xodo Sign. The document will open in your browser.

Step 2: Review the document

• Scroll through all pages to review the content before signing.
• Optionally, check the Hide Fields checkbox (top left) to temporarily hide signature fields and read the document more easily.

Step 3: Complete the fields

Click Start (top right) to begin. The button will guide you through each required field:

• Next Step — Click after completing a required field to move to the next one.
• Skip — Appears for optional fields only. Click to leave a field blank and continue.
• Finish — Appears when all required fields are complete. Click to finalize.

Step 4: Confirm and submit

After clicking Finish, you'll be asked to confirm your signature. Review the summary and click Confirm to complete the signing process.

You'll receive a PDF copy of the completed document by email once all required signers have signed.

Troubleshooting

• Fields are not visible: Make sure the Hide Fields checkbox is unchecked. If fields are still missing, contact the sender — they may not have placed the required fields in the document.
• The signing link has expired: Ask the sender to resend the signing request or extend the document expiration date.
• You need to decline: See the How to Decline to Sign a Document article for instructions.
