# How to add a Signature question

Signature collects a name drawn on screen with a finger, mouse, or stylus. Use
it for waivers, permission slips, handoff confirmations, or acknowledgement
forms. For a typed full name only, use Name. Use Signature when you need the
mark itself.


1. ADD IT

In Build, click Add a question, then choose Signature. See How to add questions
[https://formms.help.center/article/1016-how-to-add-questions].


2. ON THE FORM

The field is on the canvas. Question settings opens so you can write the prompt,
add hint text, and mark it required.


3. WHAT IT IS FOR

People draw a signature with a finger, mouse, or stylus. Typical uses: waivers,
permission slips, handoff confirmations, or acknowledgement forms.


4. EDIT AND REQUIRE

Click the field to change the wording. Hover it to duplicate or delete. Required
questions show a red asterisk. Optional ones do not.

For a typed full name, use Name. Use Signature when you need the mark itself.


5. ASK AI

In create a form with AI
[https://formms.help.center/article/1013-how-to-create-a-form-with-ai], describe
the form and name this type. On a form you already have, open Chat to Edit (the
pencil next to Add a question) and ask in a sentence.

Example:

> Add a signature question for parent acknowledgement.


6. READ THE DRAFT

The helper replies with a Draft card. Each field shows its type. Check that
Signature is in the list. Click Create this form when you want it. Close if you
were only trying a prompt. That does not add a form.
