In the signing room’s PDF Editor, notaries can switch between two working modes: Arrange Fields and Fill Fields. These controls are visible only to notaries and clarify field arrangement from field completion.
Field layout
Arrange Fields
Add, move, resize, or adjust fields, place annotations, and prepare the document for everyone in the session.
Field completion
Fill Fields
Click and complete fields assigned to you as the notary.
What Arrange Fields is for
Use Arrange Fields when you need to add, move, resize, or adjust fields on the document.
In Arrange Fields mode, you can:
- Add, move, resize, or adjust fields.
- Add annotations where needed.
- Adjust field placement so fields are positioned correctly.
Think of this as your field layout and document-preparation workspace.
What Fill Fields is for
Use Fill Fields when you want to click and complete fields.
In Fill Fields mode, you can:
- Click and complete fields.
- Complete your required notary fields.
Think of this as your field interaction workspace.
Quick rule of thumb
- If you need to add, move, resize, or adjust fields, select Arrange Fields.
- If you need to click and complete fields, select Fill Fields.
These mode controls are not shown to signers; they are available only to notaries in the signing room PDF Editor.
