Getting started

Choose the path that matches your role. An administrator must install and configure LibreSign before users can request signatures.

I want to request signatures

1. Sign in to the Nextcloud instance where LibreSign is enabled.

2. Open LibreSign and find Request Signatures or the request action in the Files screen.

3. Select a PDF using Upload, Choose from Files, or Upload from URL when those options are available to your account.

4. Follow Request signatures to add recipients and send the request.

If the request controls are missing, ask your administrator whether your account is permitted to create requests.

I received a signing invitation

1. Open the invitation link from the requester and check the document and requested identity details before proceeding.

2. Follow the on-screen signing steps. Depending on the configured signing method, LibreSign may ask you to define a signature, provide a password, upload a certificate, or complete identity verification.

3. Review the confirmation before submitting. See Sign an invitation.

External email signers can use the invitation workflow without a Nextcloud account when that identification method is enabled by the administrator. Do not forward a personal invitation link to another person.

I want to verify a signed document

Use Validate a signature to check a signed PDF or a document UUID. The validation result must be reviewed; an image of a handwritten signature is not by itself evidence of a valid digital signature.
