A Read-Only field displays pre-filled content to signers but prevents them from changing it. Signers can see the value, but cannot edit it during signing.
How to make a field read-only
- In the Document Editor, select the field you want to lock.
- Check the Read-Only checkbox in the field options panel.
The field will appear to signers during signing but will be locked against editing.
When to use read-only fields
- To display pre-filled information that signers should see but not change (e.g., a reference number, date, or legal clause)
- To lock values you've pre-filled as the sender before sending
- To prevent signers from accidentally modifying important data
