Sign with a personal touch with eSignature for Microsoft 365
We’ve heard your feedback: you want more personal and natural signing experiences with eSignature for Microsoft 365. Now you can draw your signature directly on PDF files using a stylus, touch, or mouse. No more printing, signing, and scanning; no more settling for typed signatures. Whether you’re approving an official company policy or signing a sales contract, you can now add your familiar distinctive touch with your drawn signature. How it works Using the drawn signature feature is straightforward and feels much like signing a piece of paper. When you receive a signing request from eSignature for Microsoft 365: Open the PDF as usual. When you start to sign, you’ll notice a new “Draw” tab on the signature panel. In the “Draw” tab, write your signature in the drawing field with a stylus, touch, or mouse. You can pick different pen colors to customize your signature look. Made a mistake? Simply hit the “Clear” button to erase your current drawing and try again. You have unlimited tries until you’re happy with your signature. When you’re done drawing, click Done. Your signature will be placed into the PDF. Fill in any remaining signature fields and select ‘Submit’ to complete the signing process. The result is a secure PDF that includes your drawn signature. If multiple people need to sign, each signer can choose their own method – type or draw – when it’s their turn. Good to know: If you have more than one signature field assigned to you in a PDF, filling out the first one will automatically allow you to reuse that signature for the remaining fields, so you don’t have to draw it repeatedly. How to get started We’re excited for you to try drawn signatures and experience a more personal, authentic way of signing documents in Microsoft 365. Starting this week, the drawn signatures capability will be available worldwide on the Microsoft 365 public cloud (excluding Indonesia), with rollout expected to be completed by mid-May. It’ll be enabled by default for all customers using eSignature for Microsoft 365. There is no need for admins to act. When the feature reaches your tenant, users will automatically see the new “Draw” option when signing PDFs. If you’re an admin or interested user, make sure eSignature is enabled in your tenant. It’s found under Pay-as-you-go services in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. You can also learn more about eSignature configuration and usage. Now, through June 2026, you can try out a limited amount of eSignature by sending up to five requests per month at no cost if you have pay-as-you-go billing enabled.Partner Blog | Introducing Microsoft 365 E7: The Frontier Suite

It helps you: Draft surveys tailored to your goals so you have a shareable survey right away Refine questions to make your survey easy to use, and drive meaningful results Launch your survey with a clear plan and timeline Send invitations and reminders to boost response rates Track progress and analyze results—all through a simple chat conversation Gone are the days of piecing together multiple tools to create forms, chase replies, and interpret feedback. Surveys Agent streamlines the entire process into a simple conversational experience, making survey creation as intuitive as having a chat. While drafting your survey, you can view refinements instantly alongside the conversation. When you’re ready to launch, Surveys Agent recommends the optimal timeline and distribution channels, even preparing and sending invitations to your selected audience – all from within the same conversation.

It’s like having an intelligent assistant that helps you design better questions, launch with a plan, send reminders, and analyze results without all the heavy lifting. Surveys Agent is now available to commercial users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license as part of the Frontier program that gives customers early access to new Copilot innovations while they’re still in development.

How to public mobile layout to web
Hi, I have prepared a Power BI dashboard using the mobile layout, and we would like to make this mobile view available on the web. However, I can only see it working in the Power BI mobile app, and I am experiencing difficulties when trying to implement it on a web page. Is there any way to publish the mobile layout on the web? If so, how? Thanks.
Creating a live document
Hi All, I wonder if anyone could help me please or guide me in the right direction. We are a small charity who provides free transport for Cancer clients in our area as our nearest hospital is over 60 miles away. Once a week we produce a 'Run Sheet' in Word, convert it to a PDF and email the link of the file to all our drivers for their duties the following week. The problem we have is the sheet is out of date the minute we send it out as clients call continually and new 'runs' are added. We prefer PDF as our drivers (some with limited tech skills) have PDF Readers by default on their smart phones. Whether it's word or PDF, how could we create a 'live' run sheet so that when the co-ordinators add or change the 'run sheet' within our OneDrive the drivers can see this. I know the basic level of this is to just create a Word document and create a share link and send that but I am sure there will be a better way of doing it so that we can point 'one' link and not have to share the a different file each week. Is there something within the Microsoft Family that would do the job better? We have a full non-profit licence. Sorry if that is confusing. Any ideas are most welcome. Thanks, Andrew
