Control Signature Types for Documents in GoHighLevel

If you manage digital contracts in platforms like ClickUp and want tighter control over how clients sign, GoHighLevel gives you flexible options for configuring signature types on each document. This guide explains step by step how to choose whether signers can draw or type their signatures when using GoHighLevel for contracts and agreements.

By the end of this tutorial, you will know exactly where to find the signature settings, how to apply them to individual signers, and how to make sure each document in GoHighLevel matches your compliance and branding requirements.

Overview of Signature Controls in GoHighLevel

When you send a document or contract for e‑signature, GoHighLevel allows you to decide which signature method is available for each signer. Instead of relying on a single default option, you can fine‑tune the experience to match your legal, branding, or user‑experience needs.

Within a single document in GoHighLevel, you can configure:

  • Typed signatures only
  • Drawn signatures only
  • Both draw and type options, available side by side

These settings are controlled per signer, giving you granular control for different roles or regions where specific electronic signature formats may be preferred.

Accessing Document Signature Settings in GoHighLevel

First, you need to open the specific document or template you want to edit. The signature controls live in the document editor inside GoHighLevel.

  1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
  2. Navigate to the section where you manage documents or contracts.
  3. Open the document you want to configure, or create a new one.
  4. Enter the document editor where fields and signer roles are defined.

Once you are in the editor, you will be able to configure how each signer interacts with their signature field.

Configuring GoHighLevel Signature Types Per Signer

Signature customization in GoHighLevel happens at the signer level rather than as a global setting for the entire document. This means each signer can have a different allowed signature type.

Step 1: Choose the Signer You Want to Configure

  1. In the document editor, locate the list of signers or roles.
  2. Select the signer whose signature options you want to control.
  3. Make sure the correct signer is highlighted before making any changes.

This ensures that the signature settings you apply in GoHighLevel affect only the intended person.

Step 2: Open the Signature Type Options

  1. Look for the signature field assigned to that signer on the document.
  2. Click the field to open its properties or settings panel.
  3. Find the options related to signature type or signature method.

In this panel, GoHighLevel exposes the controls that let you select whether the signer can draw or type their signature.

Step 3: Select Allowed Signature Methods in GoHighLevel

Within the signature field properties, you should see checkboxes or toggles that control which methods are enabled.

Common options include:

  • Allow Draw Signature – lets the signer use a mouse, trackpad, or touch device to draw their signature.
  • Allow Type Signature – lets the signer type their name and have it rendered in a script font.

Based on your requirements, configure the field as follows:

  • Both draw and type enabled: the signer can choose which method to use when signing.
  • Draw only: uncheck the type option so the signer must hand‑draw the signature.
  • Type only: uncheck the draw option so the signer is limited to typing their name.

After you set the desired options, GoHighLevel will enforce those methods when the signer opens the document.

Applying Signature Rules Across a GoHighLevel Document

In some workflows, you may have multiple signers or multiple signature fields for the same signer. You can repeat the same configuration process for each relevant field in GoHighLevel.

Multiple Signers With Different Signature Types

GoHighLevel makes it possible to apply different rules to each participant. For example:

  • Signer A: Draw only (for higher perceived authenticity).
  • Signer B: Type only (for accessibility and ease of use).
  • Signer C: Both draw and type (for maximum flexibility).

To achieve this, simply repeat the signer selection and field configuration steps for each role in the document editor.

Ensuring Consistency for One Signer in GoHighLevel

If a single signer has multiple signature fields, you will typically want them all set to the same allowed method. To keep things consistent:

  1. Identify all signature fields assigned to that signer.
  2. Open each field’s properties.
  3. Apply the same draw or type options in GoHighLevel for all of them.

This prevents confusion and ensures a uniform signing experience from start to finish.

Testing the Signature Experience in GoHighLevel

Before sending a contract to a client, it is important to preview how the signing experience will look. GoHighLevel offers tools to help you confirm that the right options are active.

  1. Use the preview or test mode within GoHighLevel’s document section.
  2. Impersonate each signer or step through the signing flow.
  3. Verify that only the expected signature methods (draw, type, or both) are available.
  4. Adjust any field settings if you see options you did not intend to allow.

This quick check helps you avoid resending documents and maintains a polished experience for your signers.

Best Practices for Signature Types in GoHighLevel

When deciding how to configure signature methods, consider these practical tips:

  • Match compliance and industry norms: Some sectors prefer drawn signatures; others accept typed signatures without issue.
  • Balance security with usability: Drawn signatures can feel more personal, while typed signatures are faster, especially on desktop.
  • Consider device types: Mobile users may find draw signatures easier; desktop users may prefer type signatures in GoHighLevel.
  • Be consistent within one document: Avoid mixing different rules for the same signer unless you have a clear reason.

By applying these practices inside GoHighLevel, you can design a smooth and professional signing workflow that suits both your organization and your clients.
