Fill in each space with the corresponding information; the page will indicate the required information. It is important to be careful not to confuse the information added.
In the tools on the top bar, you will find the “cross” and check marks to select the options in the list boxes; you should use them when necessary. When you are done, check the form several times to avoid any mistakes and verify that you have not skipped any steps.
Now it is time to add the current date to record when the form was filled in and add the electronic signature that is usually legally linked when registering on the platform.
If you have not done so, you will find the option “Sign” and “add new signature” many options appear where you can write, draw or upload an image with the handwritten signature. When you save it, you only have to go to “add electronic signature” and place it in the indicated place.
At this point, you only have to do a last review and click “ready” to proceed to download the copy and save it in the cloud. You can print it or share it directly with the editor.
