# Visual Sign Impression

Visual Sign Impression is a new eSign type that offers a non-digital signature without timestamps. Unlike traditional digital signatures, Visual Sign Impression captures an image of a hand-drawn signature, computer-generated signature, uploaded signature, or fingerprint image and affixs it to the document. This feature is designed to address specific use cases where timestamped digital signatures are not suitable.

## Setting Up Visual Sign in Leegality

1. Click on the **Settings ⚙️** icon in the top right corner.
2. From the left panel, go to **Settings > eSignature & Seal.**
3. In the Visual Sign section, click on the **Setup**. A side menu will appear on your screen with three options:
      - **Draw:** Draw your signature on the screen.
      - **Choose a pre-built virtual sign:** Select a pre-built signature from the available options.
      - **Upload a photo of your signature:** Upload an image of your hand-drawn signature. (Supported image formats are .jpeg, .jpg, and .png)
4. Select your preferred option and click **Save**.

## Sending Journey

> **Warning**
>
> Do not upload previously digitally signed documents for Visual Sign Impression. Existing signatures will be invalidated once a document is signed using Visual Sign.

1. Select the **Visual Sign** option under the **Signature Type** dropdown.
2. Allow invitee to:
    - Draw signature
    - Choose computer-generated signature
    - Affix fingerprint image
    - Upload physical signature
3. Click **Save**

The process of enabling the Quick sign eSign type for an invitee remains the same for both the New Document Journey and Workflow.

> **Info — Important Note**
>
> - Other eSign types cannot be selected with Visual Sign Impression for an invitee. Selecting Visual Sign will automatically toggle off other eSign types and vice versa.
>     - Visual Sign invitees must be added before any other eSign types.
>     - Only reviewers can be added before the Visual Sign invitees.
>     - NeSL is not supported with Visual Sign.
>     - Signing orders for documents containing Visual and Automated Visual signs will always be enforced.

## Signing Journey

The signed document will only show the signature appearance. Details like Leegality Document ID and timestamps will not be shown.

In the audit trail, only the signature type will be shown.
