Set Signature Options for Signers – Proof Help Center
The Proof Help Center explains that users can configure signer signature options by enabling at least one of three methods—handwritten, uploaded image, or text-based signatures—via the organization account's Settings under Transaction settings, where changes are saved after selection.
