This builds on earlier eSignature expansions: Word document support arrived in July 2025, and the service went globally available in late 2025. Drawn signatures give signers a more natural experience, particularly on touch-enabled devices. Organizations using eSignature for document workflows do not need to change any settings; the new option appears automatically alongside the existing typed signature.
