Manage timestamps and signature frames

With Dropbox Sign, you can control how signatures appear in your documents by adding advanced signature details and a signature frame.

Advanced signature details add information like the signer’s name, date, and timestamp directly to each signature. The signature frame adds a visible border around each signature to show that the document was digitally signed.

These features help you meet internal standards or compliance requirements and make signatures easier to review.

How to enable advanced signature details

To enable advanced signature details in Dropbox Sign:

1. Log in to your Dropbox Sign account.
2. Hover over your initials in the top-right corner.
3. Click Settings.
4. Click Profile.
5. Check the Advanced signature details checkbox.
6. Click Save.

When advanced signature details are enabled:

• The signer’s name, date, and time are automatically added to each signature block.
• The timestamp appears below the signature, to the right of the signer’s name.
• The format is: MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm am/pm TZ (time zone), for example: 03/22/2025 09:13 am PST.
