# How do electronic signatures work in Docs?

### Overview

The feature **Read & Sign** (Read & Sign) makes it possible to request a simple electronic signature on PDF documents in the Docs app. It complies with ANSSI eIDAS simple electronic signature level No. 910/2014.

### Enable signature tracking

1. Access a document **PDF** in the Docs app
2. Enable the signature tracking option on the document

Only documents in PDF format can be signed.

### Track signatures

Once tracking is enabled:

* View the **list of signatories** and their status (signed / pending)
* See the **number of signatures** obtained out of the total expected
* Each signature is timestamped to ensure traceability

### Activity Page

The **Activity** page in the Docs app groups together documents requiring action:

* Documents awaiting signature
* Overall tracking of signatures in progress

### What the assistant can do

The assistant cannot handle signatures directly. It can explain how it works and guide you to the Docs app.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.steeple.com/en/docs/docs-signatures.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
