OneDrive signature -
MargeLee Hi Marge - personally I would only consider it for scenarios of high importance or to be compliant for some regulations if a copy of the signed document was transmitted back in an encrypted email or the document was otherwise locked down. You should not confuse an electronic ink signature with secure digital signature. They're both digital, and that's it; the e-ink signature could be re-used (or mis-used) by other people in the same way as scanned signatures, whereas a true digital signature is linked to your identity in stronger ways. See, for example: https://www.howtogeek.com/164668/how-to-electronically-sign-documents-without-printing-and-scanning-them/

Hi Marge
I am not (for safety reasons) going to open a document attached to a public forum.
If you look at your workflow, both you and the signer each have a link to or copy of the document with edit rights, so you can both do whatever you like to the document. If you want a secure transaction that locks the document then you need to use something like Adobe Sign.

Mike Williams Hi Mike,
Noted on Adobe Sign.
Do you mean it is not safe to use the OneDrive PDF Viewer available feature (Markup > Signature) to sign a document?
Please advise in which scenario suit to use this OneDrive signature feature?
Thanks

Mike Williams Hi Mike, yes. I'm looking at the e-Signature and we're perfectly clear which document to use for the e-signature. Thanks so much for the explanation and reference.
