Select how you want to prepare your document:

- **Template**: Use an existing template with pre-filled fields.
- **Upload for Signing**: Upload a file from your device.
- **Blank Document**: Create a new document for sending.
- **AI-Generated Document:** Let AI generate a document to send out for signature, either by using a reference file or by creating it through prompts.

#### **3. Fill in Details**

If you are sending a [template](https://knowledge.simplesign.io/en/how-to-use-your-templates?hsLang=en), you can complete the sender’s fields directly under the **Details** section. This allows you to fill in the necessary information without having to locate and edit the fields manually within the document.

**4. Add Recipient Information**

Fill in the recipient’s information. Name and email address are always required for all signature requests. If you are using a template, the recipient fields may vary depending on how the template was set up, and additional fields may also be marked as required. The recipient will complete any fields assigned to them when they access the document.

Make sure that all recipient details are correct and that the document content and assigned fields are accurate.

#### **6. Send the Document**

Click **Send Document**. The recipient will receive an invitation by selected method to review, complete, and sign the document.
