When creating signature areas in your document, you can use keyboard shortcuts for increased efficiency. Each field type corresponds to a specific letter. For example, press the "S" key to quickly insert a signature field, or "N" to add a number field. These shortcuts simplify and speed up the process of setting up your signature areas.

If you have only one signer and have finished defining the signature areas, proceed to the next step. However, if multiple signers are required, select the next signer from the dropdown list and repeat steps 5 and 6 to define the signature areas.
