# My Signature

> Create personal signatures, use document-specific QR signing and review signature activity.

Open **My Works → My Signature** to create personal visual signature templates. Only the account holder can use their templates. You can create multiple templates as needed.

## Create a signature

1. Open the **Signature** tab and choose the action to create a signature.
2. Give the template a recognizable name.
3. Choose **Draw or type a signature**, **Upload signature image**, or **QR Signature · DekaSign**.
4. Create or review the preview, then save.

| Method | Use |
| - | - |
| Draw | Draw a signature on the canvas using a mouse or pen. |
| Type | Enter a name and choose an available signature font. |
| Upload | Use your own PNG, JPG or JPEG image, up to **500 KB**. |
| QR Signature | Create a template for QR codes linked to DekaSign evidence. |

Uploaded images are checked and prepared in the platform's signature format. Use only images you are entitled to use.

## Previews and downloads

Collection previews carry a **DekaSign** watermark. The watermark distinguishes a preview from the downloadable file; it cannot guarantee that someone will not take a screenshot or photograph the screen.

For an active non-QR signature, choose **Download PNG**. The PNG includes DekaSign metadata and evidence about the template and associated account. Template metadata does not establish that every document containing that image was signed through DekaSign.

## Use a signature during signing

Internal users signing with a visual signature can choose their active template, use QR Sign, or create a manual signature. They must still review the document and provide consent; selecting a template does not automatically sign a document.

A QR generated while signing in DekaSign is linked to its document context, relevant version/evidence, signer identity and signing time. QR verification must match the corresponding document verification record.

## QR codes for documents outside DekaSign

Choose **Prepare document QR** and provide the document title, filename or document URL, and intended purpose as requested by the form. Review those details before downloading the QR.

> [!WARNING]
>
> External QR document references are published on their validation page. Do not include personal or confidential details that QR-link recipients should not see. A reference you enter does not establish that an external file matches a document previously verified by DekaSign.

An external QR helps recipients inspect a published reference record. Use Document Sign or request-document signing for evidence tied to a file and its signing process.

## Archive and History activity

Signatures are not deleted. Select **Archive** to stop future use and downloads. This action cannot be undone. Filter the collection by **Active**, **Archived**, or **All signatures**.

Archived signatures retain watermarked previews and history but cannot be selected for new signing or downloaded. Evidence from documents signed previously is preserved.

The **History activity** tab shows creation, downloads and archiving, including timestamps and document/purpose references where available. Times follow the organization timezone. Use **Refresh** or **Load more activity** for additional records.
