Introducing eSignature for Google Docs and Google Drive: launching to
open beta for Workspace Individual subscribers, launching to beta for
Google Workspace customers

Wednesday, August 9, 2023

What's changing 

In June 2022, we began alpha testing the ability to request and
capture eSignatures in Google Docs. Based on the feedback we
received, we're ready to move this feature to the next level: 

  * eSignature is now available as an open beta for Google Workspace
    Individual subscribers -- no additional sign-up is required to use
    the feature. 
  * eSignature will be available in beta for select Google Workspace
    customers -- see the "Additional details" section below for more
    information.

Why you'd use it

For solopreneurs and small businesses, keeping track of contracts,
customer agreements, and other binding documents can be challenging.
To help streamline this workflow, we're natively integrating
eSignature in Google Docs, allowing you to request and add Signatures
to official contracts, directly in Google Docs. 

eSignature makes it easier to:

  * Quickly request signatures, see the status of pending signatures,
    and find completed contracts.
  * Sign an official contract right from Google Drive without having
    to switch apps or tabs.
  * Create a new copy of the contract for each request so that you
    can use your document as a template and initiate multiple
    eSignatures requests. 



Additional details

Later this year, we will introduce support for the following new
eSignature capabilities:

  * Audit trail: all completed contracts will automatically contain
    an audit trail report.
  * Multi-signer: the ability to request a signature from more than
    one user.
  * Non-Gmail users: the ability to request an eSignature from
    non-Gmail users
  * Initiating eSignature on PDF: the ability to initiate an
    eSignature on PDF files stored in Drive


Beta availability for Google Workspace customers
Select Google Workspace editions (see the "Availability" section
below) can apply to beta test eSignature using this form. This
feature will be available as part of a larger beta, which includes
access to new custom email layouts in Gmail. These new email layouts
allow users to customize existing templates, reuse a custom layout in
multiple email campaigns, or create a brand new layout from scratch.
Once you sign up for the beta you will see the eSignature and new
Gmail features in the coming weeks.
