Templates

Updated on Oct 26, 2026

Utilizing templates allow employee users to skip the document creation process with reusable documents ready to send for signature. Users with electronic signature sending capabilities can create template documents when logged into the RightSignature App.

Manage template settings

For employee users, select User Access. Under E-signature settings, select Manage e-signature templates. Users with the base level permission can create, edit, and delete their own templates and send template documents created by others. With Manage e-signature templates permissions, users can edit, delete, and send template documents created by others.

Create a template

Users can choose a new document to upload or select an existing document from storage. The template editor allows the user to prepare a document by adding signer and sender roles, document overlays, and merge field options.

A templates creator or employee users with the permissions to manage e-signature templates can edit or delete templates on the RightSignature app.
