# Electronic signature lines

> [!NOTE]
> Startwork is permission based
> 
> To update, your account must have one of the following [roles](/v1/docs/roles-permissions) enabled:

> - Role: *Company Admin, Company Manager, Project Coordinator*
> - Custom role with: *Worker hiring and startwork - Full access, Project access only*

You can include signature lines for a worker and company members to electronically sign and add initials within PDF startwork documents.

All captured signatures will include the signature, and signature date at the bottom of the electronically signed document.

To add an electronic signature line to a startwork document:

1. On the *Startwork* page click on **a document name** to open it in the startwork editor. If you don’t see the option to *Insert Fields* in the toolbar, click the **Publish** button to convert the document to a PDF which will reveal the *Insert Fields* option.
2. Click **Insert Fields** in the startwork editor toolbar to access additional tools
3. Beneath *Insert Fields*, click the **signature icon** to open the *Add a signature field* panel
4. In the panel, click the **Signer** dropdown menu to select who you want to create a signature line for. You can select the worker, *Any authorized company member,* [a specific company member, or a company role](/v1/docs/roles-permissions) that has permission to approve and countersign startwork. The *Signer* menu will only list company members and roles that have the required permission.
5. Under the *Signer* dropdown menu, click to choose if you want the signature line to require either a *Signature* or *Initials*
6. If you want to make the signature optional, you can click to disable *Required*
7. Click the **Add signature field** button
8. Use your cursor to drag, resize, and place the signature field in the document
9. Once you have finished adding signature fields to the startwork document click **Save changes**
10. To preview the document, click the **Enter preview mode** button. When you have finished previewing the document, click **Exit preview mode.**
11. Click the **Publish** button to make the startwork document available to assign to workers

When signature lines are added to a startwork document:

- Assigned workers will be prompted to sign the document during onboarding
- Once an assigned worker electronically signs the document, the authorized company members will be able to electronically countersign them

To review signature requirements for a startwork document:

- Navigate to the assigned [worker's profile](/v1/docs/about-worker-profiles) and scroll down the page until you see the *Startwork* section
- Under *Startwork*, look for a note showing the number of required signatures. Hover your cursor over the note to see who needs to sign the document, and the status of its completion.
