Google Docs will now support eSignatures

• Google Docs will soon offer eSignature capability.
• Two parties can review and securely sign a contract from the convenience of their web browsers.
• Google Workspace Individual users would be able to use signature updates in a beta stage.

The conventional method of collecting a signature through in-person contact; is changing as digitization becomes more common. Google Workspace Individual was released a year ago; as an update for the one-person business that previously used Gmail accounts. The search engine behemoth has now revealed that Google Docs; users will soon have access to eSignature functionality in yet another update. If you work as an event planner or a digital producer; it might be challenging to keep track of contracts; and customer agreements that need to be signed.

Google applauds users for being able to “easily execute agreements from the familiar interface of Docs; without having to switch tabs or apps” thanks to the native eSignature capability. As shown in the animation below; all you need to do is drag & drop the signature; and date onto a text document.
