# Sign the Documents

After uploading your document, you'll configure the signature coordinates and certificate details before applying your digital signature.

## Configure and Sign Window

Once your document is uploaded, the Configure and Sign window displays:
- **Left side**: Preview of the uploaded document
- **Right side panel**: Configuration options

## Configuration Steps

### 1. Place Coordinates

Choose your preferred coordinate method for signature placement:

- **Default Coordinates**: Places the signature at a predefined location on each page. The signature is automatically positioned at the bottom-left corner of every page in the document. Use this option for quick signing when precise placement isn't required.

- **Drop Coordinates**: Allows you to manually place signatures anywhere on the document. Choose specific pages and exact positions for each signature. Use this option when you need precise control over signature placement.

**Steps for Drop Coordinates:**
1. Click the coordinate placement button.
2. Navigate to where you want the coordinate to appear on the document.
3. Click to place the coordinate.
4. Repeat this process for each signature placement you need.

**Download Coordinates:**
- Click **Download coordinates** to export them as a JSON file
- This file can be used for API calls to sign similar documents repeatedly
- Saves time when signing multiple documents with the same signature placement

> **Info — NOTE**
>
> You can only download coordinates if you choose the **Drop Coordinates** option.

### 2. Certificate & Sign Section

Configure the following fields:

* **Certificate** (Mandatory): Select a certificate from the dropdown list. The number of available certificates for the selected department will be displayed.
* **Display Signer Name** (Optional): Enter the name to be displayed on the signature.
* **Signer's Reason** (Optional): Enter the reason for signing the document (e.g., "Agreement approval", "Authorization").
* **Location of Signer** (Optional): Enter the geographical location where the document is being signed.

### 3. Sign the Document

Once all required fields are configured, click **Sign Document** to apply your digital signature.
