To provide an additional level of security to your documents, you can sign them. Use the signature option for documents that require a signature, such as privacy forms, health histories, letters, and so forth. Also, use it to lock down the document and prevent deletion or further editing. You can apply signatures to a document for patients, providers, and staff members.

Additional Tips
- You can electromically sign a document using a signature device (an ePad) or your computer’s mouse.
- Once you sign a document, you cannot edit it. However, you can still attach the document to other sources — but the reference date, document type, description, and note cannot be changed.
- To learn more about signing documents, read Signing Documents in Dentrix Help.
