What does the “Sign” action do in DocuSign?

The "Sign" action in DocuSign allows a recipient to add their electronic signature to a document. This action is fundamental to the e-signature process, as it represents the recipient's agreement and consent to the terms outlined in the document. When a recipient clicks on the "Sign" button, they are presented with options to create their electronic signature, which may involve drawing their signature, typing it, or selecting a pre-styled signature. Once the signature is added, it gets integrated into the document, making it legally binding and completing the signing process for that recipient.

This action is essential for workflow progression because it shifts the document into a signed status, allowing it to move forward through any subsequent actions or recipients as needed. In this context, other options, such as sending reminders, changing document status, or deleting documents, pertain to different functions within the DocuSign system and do not accurately describe the purpose of the "Sign" action.
